Trauma symptoms can show up in numerous ways and is rarely the same for each person.

- Building Trauma Awareness & Sensitivity Level One
-
Trauma is part of the human experience and working from a trauma-informed lens acknowledges the prevalence of trauma within the population. As such, educators, first responders, social workers and front-line support staff can anticipate that they will often serve individuals who have experienced or been affected by trauma. This foundational training acknowledges the prevalence and significant impact of trauma in an individual’s life and aims to inform service providers how to apply a trauma-informed lens to their current practice.
- Enhancing Trauma Informed Response Level Two
-
This in-person workshop will build on learners’ awareness of trauma gained in Course 1 and allow learners to engage in discussions and activities to apply their knowledge. Learners will expand their understanding of trauma, its types, effects, and signs and symptoms. Through exploration of stigma and bias and the resulting impacts on behaviour, learners will develop strategies to engage in compassionate ways with self and others. By exploring the principles of trauma informed practice and the concepts of resilience and conflict resolution, learners will identify strategies for engaging effectively with those who have experienced trauma.
