The ABC of Trauma Practitioner

Introduction

The ABC of Trauma Practitioner Training course is CPD accredited. It is a one day course that will enable practitioners working with children, young people and adults to understand the impact of trauma including adverse childhood experiences, trauma-informed practice and strategies to use to promote protective behaviours and develop resilience.

This training event has been written by Sue Penna our Chief Creative Officer. Sue spent 17 years in mental health work within the NHS as a clinician and manager. Originally trained as an Occupational Therapist, Sue has worked with a trauma informed recovery model all her professional career.

About the Training

The training will explore trauma theory and how the Acceptance of a trauma model offers the potential for recovery. By exploring the Behaviours that result from trauma it is possible to understand that it is ‘what happened’ to the child or young person that resulted in coping strategies that can be destructive to the individual, family and society.

We believe that by being Curious as individuals we can facilitate a collaborative culture to promote healing and autonomy. We introduce simple activities to promote curiosity with those we support.
