Could unseen trauma be holding your organisation back?
70% of people experience trauma at some point in their lives, and this has a lasting impact. For staff and leaders, it can affect everything from wellbeing to job performance. And for the people they support every day, it could damage trust and stop them engaging with the help they need.
Without a good understanding of trauma, your people might miss the signs and struggle to respond effectively. But with the right skills, teams can create a supportive, neuroinclusive culture that brings out the best in every person.
Here’s how our trauma-informed practice courses benefit everyone.
Your leaders
Our three-part pathway helps managers get the best from their teams in high-pressure environments. They’ll learn how to recognise stress and trauma and create a more compassionate culture where everyone can thrive.
Your frontline staff
Working with complex needs can take a toll on employees, affecting performance and retention. Our courses help professionals handle emotionally demanding situations with confidence, improving wellbeing while ensuring they can provide the best possible care.
Those you support
Give your staff the skills to reduce distress caused by trauma, helping those they support feel safe and understood. Research shows trauma-informed care makes people more likely to engage with services.

Our online CPD pathway includes the following courses:
- An introduction to trauma-informed practice: Understand how trauma shapes behaviour, wellbeing, and engagement with services, and adjust your approach to reduce conflict and create psychological safety.

Course reviews
“I found this trauma-informed course to be informative, engaging, and highly relevant to my professional role within education. The course provided a clear understanding of trauma, its long-term impact on individuals, and the importance of recognising signs of traumatic stress. I particularly valued the focus on empathy, safety, empowerment, and trauma-informed responses when supporting others. The reflective elements encouraged me to consider my own practice and how I can create a more inclusive, supportive, and emotionally safe environment for learners. The content was well structured, easy to follow, and practical for real-life situations.”
“I particularly appreciated hearing the real-life scenarios shared by individuals throughout the training. These examples brought the learning to life and helped me understand the impact of trauma from a range of perspectives. The broad variety of lived experiences included in the course added depth and helped me reflect on how trauma can affect people in different ways.”
