Trauma-Informed approaches to working with Families in a Multi Professional Context: Foundation Level
Are you working with individuals who find it challenging to engage with conventional services or offers of help? Ever asked yourself “what has happened to them” rather than “what is wrong with them?” Then this course is for you.
Trauma informed approaches are strength based and recognise that past experiences, relationships, intersectionality, and context affect current ways of being, relationships and interactions. The Trauma informed lens reframes behaviour that has been traditionally seen as “resistant, difficult, challenging or problematic” as individuals’ best attempts at coping and surviving. In this context it is understandably that the relationships practitioners build with people to promote safety, is emotional work, that inevitably impacts upon them.
This multi agency face to face course is facilitated by highly experienced practitioners working in a range of settings including mental health, children’s social care and university and in consultation with Recovery Partners (Experts by Experience).
Who can attend this course?
This multi agency training ran by the East Sussex Safeguarding Children Partnership, can be accessed by any professional who works with children and families in East Sussex.
