Training Spotlight: Trauma Informed Care
Increasing the availability and accessibility of training opportunities related to suicide prevention is a significant action outlined in the Living Hope plan. In an effort to reduce barriers present for Edmontonians wanting to receive suicide prevention training, Living Hope offers a number of training opportunites both online and in person, free of charge.
The Trauma Informed Care course is one of these opportunities available to Edmontonians. This two-day introductory training acknowledges the prevalence and significant impact of trauma in an individual’s life and aims to inform service providers how to apply a trauma-informed lens to their current practice. This workshop will define and describe the six main trauma-informed principles outlined in the literature and will focus on how to translate these principles into practice.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Define trauma and understand the different types of trauma
Identify the signs and symptoms of trauma
