HWH Teacher Education

HWH aims to support the psychosocial well-being of the teachers in whose care these children are placed. In attending to the emotional education and personal development of the teachers, we provide essential support for their capacity to meet the children where they are emotionally. It is reasonable to assume some of the children, if not all, will still be carrying the trauma and stress of their ruptured lives. HWH develops the teacher’s ability to be present, compassionate and strong in themselves. This is advantageous in terms of the children’s primary need for stability and safety in their relationships with adults – an essential prerequisite for learning.
