Trauma-Informed Organisations training
Who this training is for: Staff and managers wishing to explore how to support their organisation/services to become trauma informed.
Training duration: Full day (6 hours)
Becoming a trauma informed organisation goes beyond how we relate to our clients, it involves reassessing every aspect of how an organisation works. This course encourages us to do this through the lens of the six trauma-informed principles:
- Safety
- Trustworthiness and transparency
- Choice and clarity
- Collaboration
- Empowerment
- Inclusivity
How do these principles inform how we manage and support staff, how we create environments of safety and inclusivity, how we use language and communicate in the workplace? This course is highly interactive and asks to consider how to our own services can become truly trauma-informed.
Learning objectives
- Understand the constituent parts of a trauma informed organisation.
- Consider the impact of work in social care settings and how we can best support and manage our staff.
- Understand how to make work cultures inclusive, focusing particularly on cultural sensitivity and the language we use.
- Consider how choice and collaboration impacts both how we manage staff and engage our clients.
- Examine how we foster a sense of safety both physically and psychologically
- Form a service-based action plan to make our services trauma-informed.
Jo is an incredible trainer, who combines her in-depth psychological knowledge with an easily accessible training style. I liked that the training also gave us the opportunity to think about and share practical ways to apply this knowledge in our services – I learned so much from the other participants."
I really enjoyed the training and approach taken. I learned a lot and liked all the opportunities for reflection and group discussion. I work with researchers so not participants directly, but I hope to bring this idea of giving participants control, alternatives and choices to my conversations with researchers and my own future research practice."
I understand more about the complexities of the concept of trauma at biopsychosocial level. For example, the window tolerance was really useful. It highlighted how many warning signs of vicarious trauma I have/am experiencing. I plan to try to address 'failure to nurture' non-work aspects of life!"
I had no previous experience or understanding of trauma-informed approaches so found this training really informative. I'll be taking the ideas from the training back to my team and continue to champion lived experience."
