Trauma informed practice is a one-day course aimed at frontline workers who want to learn more about how to recognise and sensitively respond to those who have experienced trauma.
A one day course looking at definitions of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), myths and statistics, reasons why it is difficult to leave an abusive relationship, indicators of violence and how to provide support to those affected. It will provide you with information on local and national services available and referral processes.
The model known as ‘routine enquiry’ is increasingly being used by frontline health, social care and advice services. When using this approach individuals are routinely asked about abuse and whether they would like information about sources of help and support.
This course explores the means to develop a powerful working relationship with clients who have experienced violence against women and girls, through respect, fostering control, setting boundaries and being trustworthy. There will be opportunities to practise basic counselling skills including listening and responding in ways that empower clients.
This course is designed to help professionals understand and identify vicarious trauma - the dynamics and psychological issues arising from work with victims of violence. Support is given to address the issues with the client and to promote strategies for self-care, highlighting the appropriate use of supervision and debriefing. It provides an opportunity to recognise and celebrate achievements and reflect on challenges met at a personal and professional level.
