This training forms part of Circles Network’s commitment to person‑centred practice and our belief that everyone deserves to be heard, valued and supported in ways that work for them.
Supporting People with Understanding, Compassion and Respect.
This workshop offers an introduction to becoming trauma informed. Exploring what trauma is, how it can influence the way individuals feel, behave and connect with others, and how we can respond in ways that feel safe, respectful and empowering.
Our aim is to build understanding, compassion and confidence so that people can support others in ways that honour their experiences and strengths.
This workshop was co‑designed and is co‑delivered with a parent who has previously been supported through one of our projects. Paula’s lived experience offers genuine insight into what trauma can feel like for families and what compassionate support looks like from their perspective. Her involvement ensures the training remains grounded, human and shaped by the voices of the people we walk alongside.
As part of the session, each participant receives a workbook to complete throughout the training.
The workbook supports reflective practice, encourages personal insight and helps participants apply trauma‑informed ideas to their own roles and settings.
At the end of the workshop, participants receive a Certificate of Completion, recognising their learning and commitment to developing trauma‑informed approaches in their work.
All content is delivered in clear, accessible language with space for discussion and questions.
Throughout the session, your wellbeing matters. We encourage participants to look after themselves. Take breaks, step outside, or pause if anything feels heavy or overwhelming. You are welcome to return whenever you feel ready.
We can deliver training for individuals, small groups or whole teams depending on your needs.
