If you are a parent\, your place might be funded through your Local Authority. Please make contact with your social worker\, who will be able to advise further. We recommend doing this well in advance of the funding deadline\, as it can take some time to secure funding. Please feel free to ask your social worker to contact us for further information too. We will be happy to help. If you intend to self-fund\, please make contact with training@gateway-psychology. Our training team will talk through the next steps and get you booked in. \nTerms and conditions\nSpaces are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

If we receive a funding agreement after the deadline\, we cannot guarantee that the participant will be able to attend the course.

SUMMARY:Working with Resistance (Apr 2026)
DESCRIPTION:This training is designed to support professionals to develop a deeper\, more compassionate understanding of resistance in work with children\, young people and families. Rather than viewing resistance as a barrier or lack of cooperation\, the workshop reframes it as a meaningful and often protective response shaped by trauma\, attachment\, power dynamics and previous experiences of services. \nParticipants will explore how resistance can present in everyday practice\, including avoidance\, disengagement\, hostility or apparent compliance without change. The training supports professionals to strengthen confidence in responding to resistance in ways that preserve relationships\, reduce escalation and promote meaningful engagement\, particularly within statutory\, safeguarding and high-pressure contexts. \nThis training is suitable for professionals working across social care\, education\, health and therapeutic services\, including social workers\, clinicians\, family support workers\, residential staff and school-based professionals. \nPurchase Your Ticket\nTraining details:\n\nDate: 30 April 2026\nTime: 9:00-12:00\nHours: 3 hours\nCost: £60 + VAT per person\nPayment options: Purchase by card or to pay by invoice\, please contact training@gateway-psychology.co.uk \n\n\nPurchase Your Ticket\n  \nIf you would like to buy multiple places (10+)\, please contact our training team.

The course has been developed in-house by Gateway Psychology and draws on attachment theory\, trauma-aware frameworks and systemic perspectives. \nThe training provides an in-depth exploration of how resistance develops\, how it may present in both subtle and overt ways\, and how professional responses and organisational systems can unintentionally increase or reduce resistance. \nParticipants will explore practical\, relationship-based strategies for working collaboratively with resistance\, including maintaining curiosity\, slowing the pace\, offering choice\, and supporting engagement without escalation or power struggle. \nThe course is delivered online via Zoom. \nWho is it suitable for?\nThis training programme is suitable for: \n\nSocial workers\nFamily support workers\nTherapists and clinicians\nResidential care staff\nEducation professionals\nEarly help and safeguarding practitioners\nProfessionals working with children\, young people and families\n\nPlease note that this course is not suitable for parents or carers. \nHow to apply:\nPlease purchase your ticket for this programme using the link above. \nAlternatively\, if you would prefer to pay by invoice\, please contact our training team attraining@gateway-psychology.co.uk \nIf you wish to bulk-book places on this programme\, we may be able to offer a discount.
