When we experience trauma in our lives how do we recover from such life altering events? As practitioners how do we respond to people who have experienced trauma in a way which meaningfully supports their recovery and enables the ongoing healing of the whole person - heart, mind & body?
During this workshop we will explore the meaning of trauma in our lives and raise our awareness of this healing journey within a person centred, recovery focused framework.
This workshop is designed to enhance our capacity to respond by increasing our understanding & preparedness for such events, developing our own protective behaviours and introducing strategies for building capacity for psychological resilience & emotional literacy.
