Introduction to the Trauma Recovery Model

Dive into the core principles of the Trauma Recovery Model (TRM) in this practical and engaging livestreamed training. Designed for professionals who work with children, young people, and adults, this course offers a comprehensive introduction to trauma-informed practice. Through interactive sessions, you'll explore the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), understand the foundational concepts of trauma and resilience, and gain actionable insights into the TRM's step-by-step approach to supporting recovery.

The Trauma Recovery Model is a roadmap to help professionals care for and guide troubled children, young people and vulnerable adults towards recovery and resilience. It's a composite model that combines theories of child development, attachment and neuroscience with hands-on practitioner skills. It provides practical guidelines for knowing which interventions to use and when.

This means practitioners can recognise the presenting behaviours of vulnerable people in their care, understand the psychological needs that underpin behaviours and can identify the types of interventions that best address those needs.

The TRM is a tried, tested and evaluated approach that's being used by practitioners and carers across the UK and beyond; giving them the confidence and skills to help build positive futures.

This one day course is aimed at social workers, youth workers, mental health practitioners, teachers or anyone working with children and young people who display attachment related difficulties or trauma.
