Trauma can have a lasting impact on a person’s emotional wellbeing, behaviour, relationships and everyday life.

You will learn about safeguarding, professional ethics and UK legal responsibilities, alongside the application of trauma-informed approaches across different settings. The course also examines practitioner wellbeing, organisational responsibilities, advanced application and reflective practice.
By completing this course, you will develop a stronger understanding of how trauma can influence people’s experiences, needs and behaviours. Build the awareness needed to respond with empathy, establish supportive relationships and create safer environments.
