Applying Trauma Informed Care in Community Settings

Have you ever wanted to help someone who was facing troubles but did not know how to support them? Join us for our next Community Leadership Series to learn about the presence, symptoms and role of trauma in our lives and the people around us, so that we may best know how to care for and support others in our communities and organisations!

Organised by NVPC’s Community Matters team and Limitless, a youth mental health-focused charity, this workshop will cover the key questions:

• What is trauma and how do I identify it?
• What is trauma-informed care?
• How can I practise trauma-informed care? (In-depth, includes role-play)
• How can leaders bring about healing?

This workshop is happening on:

• 16 March (Thursday) from 3:00pm to 6:30pm - Physical @ NVPC

If you haven't already, do sign up for our introductory session happening on:

• 16 February (Thursday) from 7:30pm to 9:30pm - Online on Zoom

The physical workshop, which comprises more interactive activities such as role-plays, will build upon the online session and cover more on practices that leaders may adopt to encourage healing and create more positive interactions within your community. You do not need to attend the first workshop to attend the second.

This in-person workshop is useful for:

• Leaders within communities such as in an NPO, ground-up, company or other interest groups that are looking to better care for their community members and improve their mental wellbeing
• Individuals interested in understanding deeper about mental health and trauma

Register on Eventbrite now and we hope to see you there!
