Trauma Informed Training

ICENA’s trauma-informed training helps professionals support survivors, promoting understanding, empathy, and safe practices.

About our Trauma Informed Courses

Trauma-informed practice and care are essential to supporting survivors of the impact of sexual violence and domestic violence.

This bespoke training explores how trauma affects our brain, nervous system and behaviours, plus how responses differ from person to person, both immediately and long term. You will listen to survivors’ lived experiences to shape your understanding and reflect on your own outlook, identifying and eliminating unconscious bias. Finally, and most importantly, you will learn the skills to adapt your approach to support trauma survivors better.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a trauma informed approach?

    A trauma-informed approach is a way of interacting, supporting, and providing services that recognise the impact of trauma and prioritise safety, trust, and empowerment. It ensures that individuals are not re-traumatised by their experiences with organisations or professionals.

  • Why is a trauma-informed approach important?

    Trauma can affect a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. A trauma-informed approach helps create supportive environments where individuals feel safe, understood, and empowered, leading to better outcomes in healthcare, education, social services, and workplaces.

  • Who can benefit from a trauma-informed approach?

    Anyone who has experienced trauma, whether from abuse, violence, loss, or other distressing events, can benefit. It is particularly important in healthcare, education, social services, and workplaces that support vulnerable populations.
