Mindful Trauma-sensitive training
Working with children who are trauma-experienced requires a special set of skills and a deep level of awareness.
Our Mindful Trauma Energy Awareness Masterclass is designed to help trauma professionals and Connected Kids professionals develop these skills.
The masterclass was created by the Connected Kids Founder, Lorraine Murray, as masterclass that helps professionals use mindful and energy awareness to work deeply yet gently with children affected by trauma.
This course combines trauma knowledge from the West with energy and meditation practices from the East.
If you currently work with trauma-experienced young people, the masterclass can offer you an effective set of skills to add to your profession that will show you how to:
- guide young people to use and trust their insights,
- give them the ability to connect with, and mindfully use, their personal strengths and resources
- and develop mindful and simple energy methods for self-supporting, healthy choices.
If you have been on the Connected Kids Professional Teacher programme, this is classed as advanced training.
The course is delivered through self-directed modules and online group support to help you develop trauma-sensitive mindfulness skills, intuitive energy skills, and help you bring restorative practices into your work.
The trauma-sensitive Masterclass will teach you meditation and mindful energy skills specifically for young people (under the age of 18).

Connected Kids professional training is an accredited programme that trains people to become a qualified meditation teacher for young people of all ages (toddlers to teens) and includes working with autism, adhd and SEN.
The Mindful Trauma-sensitive Energy Awareness certification gives you the skills to incorporate this into your current work with young people but is not a qualification to teach as a professional meditation teacher - see CKP
If you have little/no experience of meditation we do not advise that you take the MTEA - we would strongly advise that you start with our foundation course. This will give you the basics for self practice in addition to sharing with your own children.
If you have some personal meditation experience we would suggest the CKP and MTEA combo. This will give you access to our foundation and professional modules and support your journey to MTEA certification. You will complete the MTEA assessment and provide prerequisites but your focus will be on completing the MTEA, yet saving time and money.
