Remote Learning: Trauma informed Practice Workshop

This workshop has been approved by The Psychological Society of Ireland and The Addiction Counsellors of Ireland for Learning Credits/CPD points.

The purpose of this workshop is to start a conversation about how trauma and adversity affects and has affected those who use the services we provide and the appropriate responses we can implement and offer; to reflect on how others’ trauma experiences may affect those of us providing services – vicarious trauma and; to examine how we, as professionals, volunteers and peer workers, can embrace a trauma informed approach, including self-care, within our practice.

This two day training course will be delivered live on Zoom and will allow you to interact with your trainer and other participants in a virtual classroom. In addition to the workshop content there will be live discussions, question & answer sessions and skills practice. You can access the course wherever you have an internet connection.

Participants should have some work experience. Suitable for: Therapists and Counsellors (please note: this is not designed for experienced therapists), early childhood Educators and Care Professionals and those working in Social Care, Youth and Family Care, Nursing Practitioners, Addiction Services and Homeless Agencies.

Dates: 14 and 15 November 2024 |09.30 – 16.30 (GMT+1) each day
