CALM Trauma Course

Course Overview

The CALM Trauma Course uses a holistic lens to look at the experiences and impact of trauma upon the body, the brain and our ways of interacting in the world.

The heart of the course is that an understanding of trauma is the first step in creating sensitive and responsive relationships, services and communities where recovery and equality is possible.

The course takes a close look at the principles of trauma informed practice, the understanding of self-regulation and co- regulation, and the impact of relationships on thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Trauma is recognised as something which has an impact on us all. Different types of trauma, its prevalence and our own experience and perspectives of trauma are all considered in becoming trauma aware.

TESTIMONIALS

What Others Say

"I have found this course to be thoroughly absorbing and of a really good quality, resulting in me spending far too long going off on tangents and exploring many of the themes in some depth. This is the fourth trauma course that I have undertaken and while each has its strengths and merits this is easily the best."

"This course has really helpful in building my understanding of what's happening at the physiological level in trauma, so that we can understand behaviours better and how to support people."

"This course contained things that I could relate to both in my personal experience and my professional experience. The information crossed over different areas of my practice and seemed incredibly relevant."

"Fantastic course, I'm so glad we/I have been able to do this course. So much wisdom, so much to take from this, from all the those that have brought to the table about trauma, the impact of trauma and how to heal. Immense thanks for this and to all those who have created this course."
