Trauma-Informed Training
Khulisa provides training on the effects of trauma to professionals working with socially excluded young people and adults, such as teachers, prison officers and social workers. We give these professionals a deeper understanding of how trauma impacts them and those in their care, equipping them with practical tools and techniques to manage the often difficult behaviour of those they work with, provide the right level of support and retain their own levels of wellbeing.
A UK survey of teachers found 60% of respondents received no relevant training on the needs of children who have experienced trauma in the last 3 years, with half saying they received no training at all despite working daily with vulnerable children (Adoption UK, 2019)
Our trauma training awards:
Khulisa’s trauma training is drawn from over 10 years’ experience delivering award-winning social and emotional wellbeing programmes, led by qualified therapists who understand the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma on the brain, body and behaviour of our participants. We know that the professionals working with individuals like our participants may not have this knowledge, and also need to manage their own wellbeing around high levels of trauma. Not doing so risks compassion fatigue, burn-out and perceived rejection of those in their care, intensifying the aggression or distress directed towards them. Our training enables professionals to retain their own resilience and wellbeing in highly stressful roles to prevent this downward spiral.
