Trauma-Awareness Training

"How you are is as important as what you do"
Jeree Pawl - a pioneer who shaped the field of infant and early childhood mental health in the USA

To create a trauma-informed environment that promotes safety and healing, it is essential for everyone in the organization to have a basic understanding of the causes, impacts, and consequences of emotional trauma. This understanding supports more empathetic and informed responses throughout an organisation.

Developed by Sue Penna, this half-day CPD accredited course offers an insightful introduction to trauma theory, helping delegates understand the underlying reasons behind certain behaviours. It enables delegates to understand that trauma experienced by a child or young person can result in coping strategies that can be destructive to the individual, family and society.

The delivery of the training was excellent, and the trainer had excellent knowledge of the subject matter. I was engaged throughout and learnt a lot about trauma and its impact, particularly in regard to ACE. I really enjoyed the training and I feel it will help aid my understanding of how trauma impacts an individual and their behaviour and life choices.
