Events

A brief introduction to Trauma Based Practice
"Individual trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the individual's functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being."
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

In this course we will look at:
• The estimated numbers of children and adults who experience trauma in the UK
• How previous trauma can influence present behaviour
• The key principles of a trauma informed approach

This course is only meant as an introduction, however you will be given material and further links to explore this subject in more detail.
