Lifeline TasmaniaTrauma shapes how people think, feel, and respond to the world, but it is often misunderstood. This practical and engaging workshop provides a clear, accessible foundation for a better understanding of what is happening beneath the surface for individuals impacted by trauma and how to respond in a way that is safe, supportive and effective.
Foundations of Trauma is a prerequisite for Trauma-Informed Practice. You will explore how trauma affects the brain, body and relationships, and build the skills to respond with greater confidence, clarity and care. Just as importantly, this course looks at healing and how to sustain yourself while supporting others.
As your understanding grows, so will your ability to connect, communicate and respond skilfully in real-world situations.
Topics:
- Exploring what trauma is;
- The impact of trauma on the brain, body and behaviour;
- How trauma influences and impacts;
- Healing and growth;
- Self-care and sustainability; and
- ‘A new lens.’
