“The training has challenged me to think intentionally about the impact trauma may have on colleagues and organisations, and to try and frame events, conversations and communications using the five core values.”

Our Training
We train staff and volunteers in organisations to develop an understanding of the dynamics and process of trauma, to inform practice and system change. Our training courses and workshops have three primary objectives:
To help staff to better understand the effects of violence, abuse, and trauma on those they work with.
To provide opportunities for skill enhancement in trauma informed practice.
To give staff the opportunity to reflect and learn more about themselves.
In 2023-24 we trained over 590 participants in trauma-informed practice in the justice and community sectors.
