Learn strengths-based interventions to help build safety, control and empowerment for trauma-affected individuals.
Trauma-informed Care helps trauma-impacted individuals to build a sense of safety, control and empowerment, using strengths-based interventions that can be delivered by a range of providers.
In this course, you will learn about and practise key aspects of Trauma-Informed Care, including how to safely talk about trauma, simple strategies to teach trauma-impacted individuals to help them deal with their distress, how to foster independence and recovery, and encourage connection with others. You will also learn how to apply these skills in your own work setting.
If you work in a community-based setting with people who have experienced trauma, this short course will provide a framework for understanding, responding, and aiding recovery.
