Introduction to Trauma Informed Practice

This full-day training provides a comprehensive introduction to trauma informed practice for professionals working in care, support, or therapeutic roles. Participants will explore the impact of trauma on individuals, families, and communities, and examine how trauma influences behaviour, emotions, and physical responses. Through interactive activities, real life case studies, and practical tools, the course empowers attendees to adopt a trauma lens in their work, recognising signs of trauma, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation, and building resilience. Topics include the link between trauma and substance misuse, the role of psychologically informed environments, and the importance of reflective, strengths-based approaches in trauma aware care.
