A newly updated workshop for GAPS!
All Social Work practitioners will now have some awareness of the concept of trauma informed practice; these being the ideas and psychological theories that encourage us to consider how survival responses can get activated when people find themselves in certain contexts.
However, making the shift from understanding theory to actually embedding these ideas into how we work in our settings is extremely hard work. Particularly if we pay attention to the current wider context of underfunding and subsequent outcome driven initiatives. This workshop will open up thinking about how we can really shift the ethos of our services and practice in a way that does not pathologise others, and that enables social care workers to stay connected to their expertise and instinct.
Whilst I don’t claim to have the answers, this will be a space where we can share what we know, as well as examine the voices that bring in differences around both trauma theory and its practice.
“I was really impressed at the training and the broad backgrounds of the participants, it felt really good to to come together to think about how trauma effects our practice.”
“The passion of the trainer shone through which meant it was a very engaging day.”
“A fantastic event with so much learning to take forward and influence my practice.”
