Workshop on 6th & 13th February 2021, 1pm - 4pm
This two part online workshop provides a basis for all people working in the caring professions to develop a safe and effective approach for working with individuals who have lived through traumatic events and now struggle with post-traumatic symptoms.
Participants will learn to identify trauma symptoms, and how to support traumatised clients to stabilise their emotional responses, develop some sense of safety in the here-and-now and reclaim their life.
This workshop serves as a standalone training for supporting traumatised individuals and also as a pre-cursor to the one-day workshop “The Essential Elements: Trauma-focused Interventions”, which looks at working with complexity and processing of traumatic memories.

- Define trauma and identify trauma symptoms/coping strategies
