Trauma-informed care: revolution or rhetoric?

A free webinar on trauma-informed care and its value and challenges

Cost: Free event

The term ‘trauma-informed care‘ has recently become a buzzword and is now finding its way into the mainstream menu of must-have training across the public sector.

But ‘trauma’, in itself, is nothing new. This begs the question – aren’t we already informed enough about trauma?

This free webinar, originally presented by Dr Sheena Webb on 19 April 2022, explores the background and myths around what it means to be trauma-informed and the value, challenges and potential pitfalls of trying to adopt a trauma-informed approach within the public sector.

a deeper knowledge of what trauma-informed care is and how the approach can be applied
