Delivered by:
Highland Council Psychological Service
Aims and Objectives:
The course covers the content of the first level of the National Psychological Trauma Training Knowledge and Skills Framework. Content is adjusted according to the particular group attending to ensure it is relevant for their particular service context, and the Practice Model is used as a framework throughout. People who have attended equivalent trainings from NES or elsewhere may still find this of use as it connects the agenda to a Highland context.
By the end of this training, staff should:
- Know how common trauma is and understand different types of trauma and their impact
- Understand how people with traumatic memories experience situations, including how children of different ages present
- Know how to respond to a known traumatic event, or to help people with the consequences of trauma even when the history is unknown
- Connect trauma informed practice to their core roles and to the Practice Model
- Have some ideas for self-care and reducing the impact of vicarious trauma
(National Framework Level 1)
Audience:
This training is designed for any staff in the highland who have regular contact with children and/or families, including those working within adult services, or those who manage them.
