Trauma-informed training is crucial because it shifts the focus from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” This approach acknowledges that individuals’ behaviours and responses are often coping mechanisms developed in response to trauma. By understanding this perspective, professionals can better support and empower trauma survivors without inadvertently re-traumatising them.

All of our Trauma Informed Training Courses are run in an interactive student-centred style, with all assurances given to create a safe learning environment. Please note all our courses are tailored free of charge to your requirements so may vary slightly from the stated aims and outcomes and are run in-house and virtually.

Principles of Trauma Informed Training

1. Safety: Ensuring physical and emotional safety is paramount. This includes creating environments where individuals feel secure and respected, minimizing triggers that could reawaken traumatic memories or responses.

 

  1. Trustworthiness and Transparency: Building trust through clear communication, consistency, and transparency in interactions and procedures. This helps survivors feel confident in seeking help and disclosing their experiences.

 

  1. Peer Support and Collaboration: Encouraging collaboration and mutual support among individuals, recognizing that healing often occurs within supportive relationships and communities.

 

  1. Empowerment, Voice, and Choice: Empowering survivors by respecting their autonomy, involving them in decision-making processes, and honouring their preferences and strengths.

 

  1. Cultural, Historical, and Gender Sensitivity: Acknowledging and respecting cultural, historical, and gender differences in understanding and responding to trauma. This ensures that training is inclusive and responsive to diverse backgrounds and identities.
