The Trauma Recovery Programme

BeyondTrauma

A trauma-informed approach recognises the lasting impact that trauma can have on an individual’s emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. It prioritises creating environments that are safe, compassionate, and empowering, helping individuals feel seen, heard, and respected.

Being trauma-informed means understanding that trauma can shape behaviours and responses in ways that may not always be obvious. It encourages empathy, reduces the risk of re-traumatisation, and promotes trust and healing.

The Trauma Recovery Programme

The Trauma Recovery Programme is extremely beneficial for service users who have experienced trauma or PTSD. Trauma can have a profound impact on a person's mental health and wellbeing, affecting their ability to function and enjoy life. The programme is designed to help service users recover from the effects of trauma by providing them with the tools and resources they need to move forward.

Professionals who attend this psycho-educational intervention trauma recovery program can have numerous benefits, including 15 CPD points to become ‘Trauma-Informed’, improved self-awareness, increased empathy and understanding, enhanced professional skills, improved workplace dynamics, and better outcomes for the organisation.

As trauma-informed care becomes increasingly important in the workplace, it is essential that employees have access to resources that can help them manage the challenges of their job. This program is one such resource, and it can provide employees with the tools they need to build resilience, manage stress, and maintain their own well-being.
