The course will involve a combination of teaching and small group work, with plenty of space and time for questions and reflections, to ensure that participants leave with a clear understanding of psychological trauma and having the confidence to know what to do about it. 

How will the workshop run?

From 9.15am until 3pm via Zoom. You will need to set up a Zoom account in advance of the session if you don’t already have one. The link will be available from 9am and we will start at 9.15am.

We will have tea/coffee breaks mid-morning and mid-afternoon and a lunchbreak.

Due to the interactive nature of this workshop it is essential you join from somewhere quiet where you can participate fully, with both your sound and video on. It will be important for your fellow group members that you are in a ‘confidential space’ and you minimise interruptions where possible.
