Being "trauma informed" means being able to recognise when someone may be affected by trauma, collaboratively adjusting how we work to take this into account and responding in a way that supports recovery, does no harm and recognises and supports people's resilience.
To support Inverclyde's ambition to become a trauma informed and responsive local authority, a Trauma Skilled (Level 2) training programme is available to all staff working in Inverclyde. This Trauma Skilled training programme takes a blended learning approach and is composed of 3 stages:
1) Completion of at least module 1 of the NTTP Trauma Skilled e-modules (1.25 hours): Developing your Trauma Skilled Practice: Understanding the Impact of Trauma and Responding in a Trauma Informed Way
2) Attending a "Transforming Connections: Trauma Skilled Practice" in-person training (7 hours)
3) Attending a follow-up reflective and facilitated peer-support session (2 hours)
Completion of all 3 stages is strongly encouraged to ensure you are able to get the most from this process. If you are registering to attend a Transforming Connections in-person training, please ensure you have been authorised to protect time for the additional learning and reflection.
About Transforming Connections: Trauma Skilled Practice Training
This full-day session is aimed at anyone who is likely to come into contact with people who have experienced trauma, whether trauma is known about or not. The session may also be helpful for anyone who already has a baseline knowledge of trauma informed practice and may be looking to expand your skills and reflect on your practice.
This session aims to help attendees to understand:
- Defining and recognising the prevalence of trauma
- Ways that trauma can affect people, including impact on brain, body and behaviour
- What trauma informed pracitce is and how to foster trauma informed professional relationships
- How to support people following traumatic events and help recovery
- The importance of caring for our own well being
Please note: We know that traumatic experiences are common and may affect us all. This training will include discussion about the impact of trauma, and some videos sharing aspects of traumatic experiences. Participants will not be asked to disclose or discuss their own personal experiences of trauma at any point during the course.
We encourage everyone to consider their own wellbeing and whether this feels like the right time and space for them to attend. Choosing not to attend, or to step away if needed, is completely okay. Where possible, please also consider planning for some wellbeing time after the training.
Inverclyde's Trauma Informed Practice training is provided at no cost to attendees, but has associated costs relating to facilitators' time, resources and venues. While we understand that on occassion unexpected issues may arise, please ensure that as far as possible you attend sessions that you register for, and let us know if you will be unable to attend as early as possible.
