Trauma Informed Practice training was offered in response to sector feedback and to complement the ‘Complex Clients and Self Care’ training which was offered in February 2016. ‘Providing self-care strategies to allow workers to effectively deal with challenging circumstances and situations at work was considered an important way to address concerns about employee wellbeing within the sector’ (Complex Clients and Self Care Evaluation Report #4).
The training was held on 19th August 2016 in Latrobe and the 22nd August 2016 in Hobart, and covered how recognise trauma-based behaviours in clients and strategies to work with clients effectively and safely.
