To celebrate BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Meet Dr Elaine Arnold, whose extraordinary & unique career in education, social work, counselling, attachment, migration & culture, family separation & intergenerational trauma spans, amazingly, some seven decades
Recorded webinar - 14th October 2021
Dr Elaine Arnold is the founder of Supporting Relationships and Families (SRF, formerly known as the Separation and Reunion Forum), and a former Director of Training (including Intercultural counselling) at NAFSIYAT and lecturer at the Bowlby Centre, she was recently cited by Integrative Arts Psychotherapist Anthea Benjamin in the BACP Journal (Oct 2021) as a major inspiration to herself as Black therapist - and in fact, to countless others.

B.A.S.E.® Babywatching programme creates unique experiences for whole classes, whilst also embracing and supporting the journey of each unique pupil. This deceptively simple programme creates conscious and subconscious links for individual children and groups, because the atmosphere it creates that has a huge impact.
Children (and adults) are engaged and drawn in by the process: it provides opportunities for sustained shared watching, talking. listening, and critical thinking; and it provides focus on the development of relationships through attunement and empathy. In gentle, unobtrusive ways, the B.A.S.E.® Babywatching programme enhances pupils and community experience and capacity in a lasting manner.
