This training helps staff develop an understanding of the prevalence and impact of trauma, and how experiences of trauma can influence behaviour, communication, relationships and engagement with services.Designed for staff across all housing roles, the programme provides practical knowledge and skills to support safe, respectful and compassionate interactions with tenants. Participants will build confidence in responding to distress, understanding people's experiences, and creating environments that promote safety, trust, choice, collaboration and empowerment.The training aligns with the NTTP Training Framework and supports West Lothian's ambition to develop trauma-informed and responsive services.
