What is this training about?

This training course will introduce you to theory and ideas to aid a better understanding of trauma in children and young people. Adopting a trauma-informed approach will be beneficial in understanding the needs of vulnerable children and this training will help you develop support plans based on this understanding

What will you learn and gain from this training:

·Understanding of psychological trauma, including the different ways this presents and how this relates to life experiences.

·Models that help to understand the impact of trauma on children.

·Evidence-based principles and strategies that can be applied in school and college settings to support children who have had traumatic experiences.

What people have said about this training:

“For me, it was beneficial to hear what trauma is exactly, why the body responds the way it does, how it manifests itself in terms of behaviours, how to best support someone who experiences/has experienced trauma and the implications for schools in supporting the children and adults it serves.”

“The training was extremely accessible and stimulating from not only a professional point of view but also a personal point of view.”

“Now that I have more of an understanding about children who have experienced trauma it has given me an insight into why these children present with certain behaviours and it will also inform how I react in the future.”
