Understanding Trauma in Professional Settings

Overview

Mental health awareness in the workplace has never been more essential. Understanding trauma in professional settings is not just about compassion — it’s about skill, awareness, and professional responsibility. This course dives deep into the connection between mental health, psychology, counselling, support worker skills, and how conditions like ADHD and OCD intersect with trauma. By enrolling, you’ll gain practical knowledge that can be applied immediately in professional environments. This is a rare opportunity to combine mental health expertise with real-world psychology insights, counselling techniques, and support worker strategies tailored for trauma-informed care. Because this is a limited-time offer, we will not be providing this exact training again, making it a one-of-a-kind learning experience you cannot afford to miss.

Description

In this specialised program, mental health is explored through the lens of workplace interactions, client relationships, and team management. We bridge psychology theory with hands-on counselling methods to equip you for sensitive, effective communication when dealing with trauma. Support worker principles are integrated throughout, ensuring you understand not just what trauma looks like, but how ADHD and OCD symptoms can manifest in ways that require adaptable approaches.

You’ll learn how mental health conditions can impact workplace performance, how to address emotional triggers, and how to apply psychology and counselling practices in both individual and group settings. From managing a colleague’s ADHD-related focus challenges during a stressful period, to offering support to an employee coping with OCD in high-pressure tasks, every module reinforces actionable skills.

The training also covers self-care strategies for professionals, ensuring that as a support worker or team leader, you protect your own mental health while helping others. Each lesson ties back to trauma-informed care, giving you the confidence to navigate sensitive conversations without crossing professional boundaries.
