Trauma-Informed Practice

Developing approaches that are sensitive to trauma

Developing approaches that are sensitive to trauma

Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP) is an approach to working with people based on the understanding that experiencing trauma can have a significant impact on their thoughts, behaviours and potential health outcomes. TIP is not a specific treatment for trauma, but rather an approach to working with people that is sensitive to the effects of trauma, promoting trust, healing and safety.

Do you have difficulty understanding the impact of trauma on the young people you work with? Maybe you’re looking for ways to reframe what is commonly labelled as ‘challenging behaviour’? If so, then read on to find out about how our Trauma-Informed Practice training can help you.

Overview:

Our Introduction to TIP training aims to equip participants with additional understanding, skills and confidence to integrate key elements of trauma-informed approaches into their practice.

There are many benefits to TIP training for staff who work with young people including:

  • Increased understanding of the impact of trauma on young people
  • Ability to recognise behaviour which may indicate a trauma response
  • Apply more effective support for young people to cope with stress and trauma
  • Improved ability to create a safe and supportive environment for young people.
