ACE's & Trauma Informed Practice (full day)

This traing has been developed in partnership between the West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit and Barnardo's.

Aims:

1. To develop understanding of the theory and concepts behind the potential impact of ACEs and trauma across the life course

2. To understand what trauma-informed and trauma-responsive practice looks, sounds and feels like.

3. To gain a basic understanding into how an organisation can begin a journey towards a trauma-informed organisational culture. The session is structured to return to key ideas and reinforce core messages as take home learning.

Overview:

This session is aimed at people who already have a basic knowledge of ACEs and who may have completed the Introduction to ACEs module. In this course we develop the theoretical ideas further and give participants ways to apply their learning to practice and to begin working in a trauma-informed way.
