Delivery: Face-to-face | Duration: One day
The final session in the trauma-informed learning series, The Trauma-Informed Organisation is a one day workshop for managers and senior leaders to explore what it means from a systems perspective to be trauma-informed. This session expands on the concepts learned in the Introduction to Trauma and Trauma-Informed Practice workshops, which are a pre-requisite for attendance.
When organisations operate a trauma-informed approach at every level, the quality of psychological safety is likely to rise and clients, customers and staff are less likely to be re-traumatised or traumatise others. Furthermore, when embedded and communicated well, having systems that adopt trauma-informed principles can help to remove many of the barriers that traumatised people often face. When policies, procedures and relevant systems present an integrated approach to viewing trauma, staff may find it easier to align their own trauma-informed practices with greater success.
Please note: the completion of an Introduction to Trauma course is required as a prerequisite to attending this course.
