This is the first instalment of a five-part series and must be completed before attending the other modules.
This foundational course introduces the core principles of Trauma-Informed Approaches (TIA) and provides a shared framework for working more safely and effectively with adults affected by trauma. It builds the knowledge and confidence needed to recognise trauma, reduce re-traumatisation, and improve engagement across services.
The training supports participants to:
Understanding Trauma: Explore the national profile of trauma and its relevance to adult services.
Trauma Responses: Understand how trauma, loss and adversity shape adult behaviour, coping strategies and engagement with services.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): Gain an overview of ACEs and explore how self-protective and self-medicating behaviours can develop across the lifespan.
Impacts of Trauma: Identify the key biological, psychological and social impacts of trauma on wellbeing, relationships and functioning.
Participants will also learn how to:
Recognise trauma and its impact on behaviour and communication
Promote physical, emotional and psychological safety
Support autonomy, choice and control
Identify and respond effectively to distress
Balance individual care with team and organisational wellbeing
This course positions trauma-informed practice as a strengths-based, relational approach that improves outcomes for adults while supporting staff confidence, resilience and consistency. It is designed for organisations seeking to embed trauma-informed principles across adult-facing services.
Professionals working with adults in health, social care, housing, education, community and voluntary sector services who want a clear, practical introduction to trauma-informed practice.
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!
