Trauma Informed Practice emphasises physical, emotional and psychological safety, in environments, interactions and service structures. It is a strengths-based framework that acknowledges the impacts of trauma while providing a roadmap to improved service design and delivery.
Structured from this evidence-based framework, Ability Options Trauma Informed Training helps staff to recognise trauma and learn how to respond with service that is effective and person-centred, as well as harnessing these understandings to support their own wellbeing.
Ability Options Trauma Informed Training is delivered in two different streams:
- Training for Care & Social Sector – targeted to a workforce who regularly work with clients who may have experienced complex trauma.
- Training for Customer Service & Private Sector – targeted to a workforce may experience challenging customer interactions including banking, finance and retail.
These workshops can be delivered face to face and virtually through face to digital video conference.
