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.
