This course focuses on empathy skills within a trauma-informed approach, with particular attention to the impact of trauma work on practitioners themselves. It supports professionals to remain emotionally available and effective while protecting their own well-being in demanding roles.
The training addresses the realities of working with trauma, including vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout, helping participants recognise early warning signs and develop sustainable strategies for resilience and professional longevity.
Participants will learn to:
Identify professional risks: Understand the differences between vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout, and recognise early signs in themselves and others.
Strengthen self-awareness: Develop reflective skills to monitor emotional, physical and cognitive responses to trauma-exposed work.
Apply self-care and regulation strategies: Learn practical, realistic techniques to support self-regulation, resilience and emotional recovery within everyday professional roles.
Sustain empathic practice: Understand how empathy, boundaries and self-care work together to maintain safe, compassionate and effective practice.
Promote organisational wellbeing: Recognise the role of systems and leadership in supporting staff wellbeing, and advocate for trauma-informed organisational cultures that reduce burnout and turnover.
Build professional resilience: Apply personal and team-based strategies that support long-term engagement with trauma-informed work.
Professionals working with adults in health, social care, education, housing and community services who want to sustain empathic, trauma-informed practice without compromising their own wellbeing.
Delivery: Live training via Zoom

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.
We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:
Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.
We recognise that sometimes groups need more time for discussions and group work. This can mean that a two-hour session is just not long enough to explore the curriculum and engage in question and answer sessions. So we are you offering the opportunity to extend the session by an hour to allow your trainees the chance to explore the curriculum fully!
