Join 422 Community Hub for An Introduction to Trauma and Trauma-Informed Practice, a three-hour session exploring Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the impact of trauma throughout life, and how we can create more supportive, understanding and trauma-informed environments.
The session is open to professionals from all backgrounds, people working or volunteering in community settings, tenants and residents, and anyone interested in learning more about trauma and its effects.
The webinar will explore how childhood experiences influence development and wellbeing, how our bodies respond to stress, and the relationship between trauma, deprivation and the wider challenges facing our communities.
The training will also introduce trauma-informed practice and consider how we can apply this understanding in our everyday lives, workplaces and communities.
