Learning how to apply evidence-based strategies to prevent vicarious trauma is crucial for supporting children, adolescents and adults. If you work in healthcare, social work, community services, or education, this course will enhance your understanding of trauma-informed care.
The Certificate of Trauma-Informed Care is a professional development course that provides the skills and knowledge to support individuals affected by trauma.
In this trauma-informed care course, you will explore the core principles of trauma-informed practice, including promoting safe environments, understanding forms of abuse, and recognising the psychological and emotional impact of trauma. You’ll also learn how to respond to disclosures, apply mandatory reporting requirements, and support individuals using a strengths-based approach.
You will learn cross-cultural communication strategies, the impact of trauma on mental health, and key frameworks like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and strengths-based interventions. You’ll also gain skills to support individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), identify triggers, implement coping strategies, and enhance service provider practices to avoid re-traumatisation.
On completion of this course, you will feel confident to provide trauma-informed care and contribute to safe and supportive environments for those affected by trauma.
Printed learning materials are available for purchase for this course and can be ordered during enrolment.
