Why should organisations do this course?

Many people experience trauma of one form or another, and this can have an impact on how they operate at work and in life. Often times, when people who have experienced trauma come into contact with services, they risk facing triggers of their trauma, or being re-traumatised.

To better support people who may have experienced trauma, workplaces and service providers need to have an understanding of trauma informed practice, so they can communicate effectively and avoid the risks of creating further harm.

“Trauma, if it doesn’t destroy us, wakes us up both to our own relational capacities and to the suffering of others. Not only does it makes us hurt, it makes us more human, caring, and wise.”
