Exploring Trauma Informed Practice and Theory - 6 hours Advanced CPD
In order to help clients who are experiencing trauma and to comprehend how trauma affects the healing process, this course will equip participants with knowledge, skills, and resources.
The session will examine the effects of trauma as well as how to protect victims and establish a supportive, trauma-informed atmosphere while working with them. The course material will provide all participants with the necessary informed knowledge to respond to persons affected by trauma within the framework of their professional responsibilities. The lesson also addresses how we manage our own self-care when assisting those who have experienced trauma.
Studies confirm that understanding trauma-informed practice, or TIP, is essential to assisting clients in overcoming obstacles to their recovery. This course offers various approaches to working with and comprehending traumatised adults and children.
You will learn how to leverage their strengths, modify your writing and mental approach, and support individuals in a way that enables them to comprehend trauma and recognise their own strengths that go beyond the abuse. This classroom-based programme offers encouraged conversation, learning, and introspection in a safe environment.
Taught by an accredited VictimFocus facilitator, Sarah Turner, who has over 25 years experience working in the Health and Social Care sector, is a registered Social Worker and is the Founder of Phoenix Training.
