Transforming Practice Through Trauma-Informed Principles

This two-day foundational training acknowledges the prevalence and significant impact of trauma in an individual’s life and aims to inform service providers how to apply a trauma-informed lens to their current practice.

CATEGORY: Trauma-Informed Care​​

LENGTH: 12 hours​​​

What becomes possible when safety, compassion, and an understanding of trauma guide our interactions?

This full-day training offers a grounded and practical introduction to trauma-informed practice, exploring how trauma is experienced, transmitted, and held across developmental, intergenerational, and historical contexts. Participants build awareness of how trauma shapes behaviour, relationships, and systems and how intentional responses can reduce harm and support regulation, dignity, and connection. Through applied strategies, the training emphasizes emotional, physical, cultural, and psychological safety, while examining how values such as choice and control, collaboration and connection, and cultural humility can meaningfully influence interactions, everyday practice, and overall workplace wellbeing.
