Becoming a Trauma-Informed Workplace
SAMHSA uses a four Rs rubric to describe a “trauma- informed” organisation, program, or system:
- Realise the widespread impact of trauma and understand potential paths for recovery;
- Recognise the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;
- Respond by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and
- Actively resist re-traumatisation.
We will explore the 4 phase model for trauma informed care in the workplace:
- Awareness
- Sensitivity
- Response
- Informed
- We can deliver live or online sessions to distributed teams working from home, and can deliver at scale.
- Trauma Informed Workplace training has been designed to help staff understand how we can better recognise and handle conversations regarding people coping with trauma.
These Sessions could be set up as:
- 4 x 2 hour session
- 8 x 1 hour sessions
“This training was extremely high quality and life-changing. It was very clear, content-rich, well-prepared and the facilitators were very effective”
