Trauma Informed Practice - Level Skilled

The National Trauma Transformation Programme (NTTP), led by NHS Education for Scotland (NES), was developed to meet the Scottish Government and COSLA’s ambition for a trauma informed and responsive workforce and services.

This means that we universally recognise where people are affected by trauma and adversity, respond in ways that prevent further harm and support recovery. It is important we recognise that this applies to our workforce and the people that we support as we begin to acknowledge that trauma is not the rare exception we thought it was and that understanding how to work in trauma informed and responsive ways is relevant to all of us, whatever our role.

• This facilitated learning session aims to help attendees to understand:
• Definition and prevalence of trauma
• Ways that trauma can affect people, including impact on brain, body and behaviour
• What a trauma-informed and responsive approach (TIRA) looks like in our services and organisations
• How to support people following traumatic events and support recovery
• The importance of caring for our own well being

This course is aimed at Team Leaders, Managers, and those wishing to become champions of the Trauma Informed Approach and Response in their workplace. Attendees should have completed the Trauma Skilled e-modules in preparation for this course.
