Why this course matters

Workplace stress is at a record high. In 2024/2025, the Trades Union Congress reported that 22 million working days were lost across Great Britain due to stress. Many organisations support wellbeing and neurodiversity, but rigid systems and leadership practices can still create psychological risk.

This course gives you practical steps to embed trauma-informed approaches into your management style. It can be applied in a wide range of settings including health, care, education, social services, and HR.

By the end of the course, you'll learn to:

• understand your role as a manager and the impact you have on others 
• identify causes of workplace stress and the effects of trauma within teams
• demonstrate trauma-informed leadership behaviours that build trust and confidence 
• apply management approaches that reduce stress and create psychological safety
• reflect on your leadership style, effectiveness, and personal wellbeing. 

If you already have existing knowledge of trauma-informed practice, this course is a natural next step to deepen your practical skills. Those who are new to the topic can complete the course as part of our Trauma-Informed CPD pathway.
