Build practical skills to recognise, respond to, and support individuals impacted by trauma using trauma informed care principles. The Trauma Informed Care Skill Set helps you develop practical skills to safely and confidently support people who have experienced trauma.
It focusses on understanding trauma, responding in a respectful and supportive way, and caring for your own wellbeing while working in challenging environments.
This course is suited to people working in community services, youth work, mental health, education, family support and similar roles where trauma informed practice is essential. It is particularly useful for support workers, case workers, youth workers, counsellors, and those looking to build leadership capability.
