The Key to Supporting Behaviour

Published On: 10 June 2025

If you work with children or young people, you will know that they sometimes need support with behaviour. In some cases, it can seem as though behaviour comes ‘out of nowhere’ and it can be hard to identify what is driving it.

But what if you could understand behaviour on a whole new level? What if you could discover what is going on beneath the surface and use this information to devise the best strategies to support the children and young people in your organisation?

That’s exactly what we can help you do with our new, CPD-certified online course: Behaviour and the Brain.

This self-paced, modular course brings together the latest thinking around brain development, trauma, ACEs, attachment, neurodivergence, neuroplasticity, and nervous system regulation, equipping you with practical strategies to transform how you support children and young people.

How can neuroscience help?

Neuroscience is the key to unlocking our understanding of children and young people’s behaviour. Why?

  • Because children’s brains are still developing, especially the parts that control emotions, impulses, and decision-making
  • Because past experiences like trauma, adversity, or neglect can rewire a child’s stress response system, which in turn affects their behaviour
  • Because neurodivergent brains work differently and may need different kinds of support

When we understand how the brain functions and how brain development affects behaviour, we can respond with compassion, curiosity, and confidence.

What you’ll gain from this course:

✔️ A clear understanding of how brain structure and development influence behaviour
✔️ Practical, easy-to-use strategies for regulation and support
✔️ Insights into trauma, ACEs, attachment, and neurodivergence
✔️ A toolkit you can apply in your classroom, service, or setting right away
✔️ CPD certification you can add to your professional development

Whatever your role, this course will change the way you think about behaviour and empower you to transform outcomes for the children and young people in your organisation.

Thousands of professionals are using neuroscience to build safer, calmer, more connected environments for the children and young people they support.
