Psychological trauma is a major public health issue affecting the health of people, families and communities. Recent evidence from the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) studies (originally in the US and more recently replicated in England and Wales) clearly show the enormous burdens that trauma places not only on mental health services but also across social care and physical health and justice provision.
Trauma informed practice aims to equip workers and organisational structures across the health, social care, and justice sectors with the knowledge and skills to mitigate some of these negative and costly effects. Due to the potentially widespread beneficial effects that a trauma informed approach may have.
Trauma Informed Practice Training Details
This is a half day course with options of either morning or afternoon sessions. The course is held at Mind in Haringey Station House 73a Stapleton hall road N4 3QF.
The training provides knowledge and skills training for all workers who may come into contact with those affected by trauma. It will equip the participants with a basic knowledge of trauma, its effects, the kinds of situations that can bring back memories of the trauma and associated feelings and how these can impact behaviour.
