3. To recognise and understand the potential impact of working with trauma, including concepts such as vicarious trauma.

4. To gain a basic understanding into how an organisation can begin a journey towards a trauma-informed organisational culture.

Overview:

A free, 3.5hr webinar, this course offers something both for those who are new to childhood adversity (ACEs) and trauma as a concept and those with some existing prior knowledge. It is aimed at both those who work with children and young people AND those who work regularly with adults.

This course discusses trauma. Trauma can be a multisensory experience, it can happen to anyone at any point in their lives, it may leave us with unexpected moments of overwhelm. During this training we try to make it as safe as possible and provide you with take care warnings throughout and offer emotional regulation techniques.
