Trauma Informed Training (Adults)

This course is being delivered by The Council and Family Centre (The CFC).

By the end of the session, volunteers will be able to:

• Understand what trauma‑informed practice is and is not, including its limits within a volunteer role.
• Recognise how trauma shows up in everyday behaviour, including common nervous‑system responses.
• Apply the core principles of trauma‑informed practice (safety, trust, choice, collaboration, empowerment, cultural awareness).
• Use safe, role‑appropriate responses and maintain clear boundaries to avoid escalation or re‑traumatisation.
• Identify signs of vicarious trauma and burnout and use basic self‑care and regulation strategies.
