A practical approach to trauma informed care

This course aims to provide delegates with an introduction to complex trauma and its physiological and psychological impact.  It provides information and an opportunity to reflect on how your service can be a safe and empowering environment for staff and service users.  Delegates will also be given some practical resources for working in a trauma-informed way and will learn to recognize vicarious/secondary trauma within themselves and how to overcome it.

·        An introduction to complex trauma and its effect on attachment and the brain

·        An introduction to Trauma Informed Care and practical tips on supporting clients to regulate emotion, manage          behaviour and risks and creating safe and empowering services

·        An opportunity for you to reflect on your practice in relation to the above

·        Vicarious trauma and looking after yourself

Please note that, due to the sensitive nature of this training course, delegates might feel anxious or upset by some of the course content if it relates to their own experiences but will be able to leave during the session if they choose.
