Manage episode 473057532 series 3611950
Svetlana Scheck-Robinz is a Brighton-based counsellor dedicated to supporting children and young adults. Passionate about advocating for and helping young people overcome adversity and reach their full potential, Svetlana collaborates with several youth charities in Brighton and West Sussex. Her approach focuses on accepting each individual as they are, creating a safe environment where they feel heard, respected, and valued.
As an integrative counsellor with a particular interest in trauma-informed therapy, Svetlana has extensive experience working with young refugees and asylum seekers who suffer from poor mental health and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
When not working, Svetlana enjoys spending time on the beach or walking in the South Downs.
In today’s conversation we talk about trauma-informed systems and processes and how schools and teachers can better support children who have experienced trauma. We especially discuss young refugees and asylum seekers and how we can prepare our schools and classroom approaches to support this specific cohort.
