| Trauma Informed approaches to working with Families in a Multi Professional Context: Professional Level Are you working with individuals who find it challenging to engage with conventional services or offers of help? Ever asked yourself, “what has happened to them” rather than “what is wrong with them?” The Trauma informed lens reframes behaviour that has been traditionally seen as “resistant, difficult, challenging or problematic” as individuals’ best attempts at coping and surviving. In this context it is understandably that the relationships practitioners build with people to promote safety, is emotional work, that inevitably impacts upon them. | |
 | Start date: 15/6/26 Time: 9:30 – 16:30 Venue: ESTDC, St. Marys House, Eastbourne
