Delivered over two days, this live programme will start a conversation about how trauma and adversity affects people and the appropriate responses service providers can implement and offer. It will also examine how others’ trauma experiences may affect those providing services – vicarious trauma - and examine how professionals, volunteers and peer workers can embrace a trauma informed approach, including self-care.

This workshop will be delivered live on Zoom: The course will allow you to interact with your trainer and other participants in a virtual classroom where, in addition to the workshop content, there will be time built in for live discussions, question & answer sessions and skills practice. You can access the course wherever you have an internet connection; on a desktop, tablet or even a smartphone.
