People with a disability are more likely to be the victims of abuse. Some of the challenges you face in your work are likely to arise from unresolved trauma.
This Trauma Informed Practice workshop will help you look at the people you support through a different lens. Rather than dealing with presenting issues, we look beyond the surface to consider why people respond in the ways they do.
We use this understanding to create more supportive environments and deliver better outcomes for all.
The workshop will help you:
Recognise the signs of trauma in people with cognitive and/or communication impairments
Develop an awareness of changes that can occur following an experience of trauma and its impacts on behaviour
Understand how some of the things staff do may trigger trauma reactions
Learn how to mindfully engage with people who have experienced trauma
