Trauma-Informed Training
In the demanding fields of public service, understanding and responding to trauma is crucial.
I run trauma informed workshops for organisations, designed for teachers, social workers, and therapists who are on the front lines of supporting individuals impacted by trauma. These workshops offer not just theoretical knowledge, but also practical tools and a reflective space to enhance your practice.
​
What is Trauma-Informed Practice?
Trauma-informed practice is about recognising the pervasive impact of trauma on individuals and understanding how it affects their behaviour, emotions, and interactions. It involves creating environments that prioritise safety, trust, and empowerment, taking into account the deeply rooted connections between trauma and the nervous system.
​
How Do We Apply This in Everyday Work?
Understanding trauma isn’t just about knowing the theory—it’s about how we integrate this understanding into our daily interactions. Trauma is deeply connected to the rhythms of our nervous system, and I believe that by recognising and regulating our own nervous systems, as well as those of the people we support, we can facilitate meaningful change.
​
Why Choose This Training?
I’ve attended many trauma-informed trainings and often found myself asking, “Now what?” While many trainings excel at explaining trauma's impact on the brain, few offer the practical tools needed to apply this knowledge in real-world settings. That’s why I developed these workshops—to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
​
In these workshops, we’ll start with a solid foundation of trauma knowledge, and then shift the focus to actionable strategies you can use in your work. You’ll gain tools and techniques that help you regulate yourself and those you support, enhancing your ability to respond to trauma in a compassionate, effective manner.
​
Whether you’re a teacher guiding students through challenging times, a social worker supporting families, or a therapist helping clients heal, these trainings are designed to empower you with practical skills that make a real difference.
