CoECT Silver Membership for Organisations
Supporting the people who support children and families
Trauma-informed learning, practical resources and ongoing support for your staff and the parents and carers you work with.
At the Centre of Excellence in Child Trauma (CoECT), we believe that when the adults around children feel informed, understood and supported, they are better equipped to help children thrive.
Whether your organisation works with foster parents, adoptive parents, birth parents, kinship carers or families experiencing challenges, CoECT Silver Membership offers an affordable way to extend access to valuable learning, resources and support.
It also provides opportunities for professionals and employees to strengthen their understanding of developmental trauma, therapeutic parenting and the needs of children who have experienced adversity.
One membership to help you support the adults who make a difference in children's lives.
Silver Membership costs £9 per person per month, or £108 per person per year. Bulk membership discounts are available for organisations.*

Why CoECT?
The Centre of Excellence in Child Trauma is committed to developing understanding of child trauma and helping adults respond to children's needs with greater knowledge and compassion.
We recognise that children's experiences can influence their emotions, behaviour and relationships, and that supporting them can place significant demands on the adults around them.
Through learning, resources and opportunities for support, CoECT helps professionals, parents and carers develop their understanding and explore approaches that promote safer, more supportive relationships.
Silver Membership helps your organisation make that knowledge more accessible to the people who need it.
