Trauma informed care: Supporting clients impacted by trauma

Traumatic experiences are common, and the effects can be profound. We’ve seen several disasters over the previous two years including the 2019 / 2020 bushfires, storm and floods as well as the COVID 19 pandemic. But trauma can also be chronic and caused by prolonged and repeated periods of abuse or domestic violence.
Trauma-Informed Care helps to build a client’s sense of safety, control and empowerment through strengths-based interventions that can be delivered by a range of professionals.
In this workshop recording, you will learn about and practise key aspects of Trauma-Informed Care, including how to safely talk about trauma, simple strategies to teach your clients to help them deal with their distress, how to foster independence and recovery, and encouraging connection with others. You will also learn how to apply these skills in your own work setting.
