Trauma Informed Practice for Family Violence Specialists – Two Day Intensive
DETAILS
In this two day intensive course, you will learn what makes family violence different from other traumatic experiences, and how you can integrate a trauma-informed framework into your practice. We will also cover ways to prevent vicarious trauma and strategies for you and your employer to support your wellbeing.
A trauma-informed approach shifts away from pathologising ‘problem’ behaviour, towards understanding a person’s experiences, behaviours and responses as a way of coping and responding to trauma.
Assumed knowledge:
Please note – it is assumed that participants will have knowledge or experience of family violence practice, including the dynamics of power and control, risk assessment, safety planning and responding to a disclosure.
