Tier 2A: Developing Trauma Informed Practice

This module builds on the key messages and content of the tier 1 “Introduction to Childhood Adversity and Trauma Informed Practice” Webinar session. We will take a deeper look at the form’s trauma can take so we can be trauma informed in our day-to-day roles. It will also help you to develop your understanding of the ethical implications of trauma informed practice.

Within this session we explore what trauma informed practice looks, sounds, and feels like within different roles. We use theoretical models and ideas to develop a deeper understanding of trauma and how this can impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. We look at how theories can inform our practice and how they can help use them to create a trauma informed toolkit we can use within our roles.

The Aims of the session: -

1. To develop understanding of the theory and concepts behind the potential impact of ACEs and trauma across the life course.

2. To look at how trauma responsive theories can help inform our practise and responses to situations.

3. To gain a basic understanding into how individuals and organisation can begin a journey towards a trauma-informed culture.

Many of the events are locality-based and participants are advised to choose the locality in which they work. This will provide opportunities to learn alongside other partners working in your local area. If you work across different localities then feel free to choose the event that best suits you and your role.
