Who should attend
This is an advanced skills workshop suitable for experienced and advanced practitioners. We recommend you do our Trauma Informed Practice workshop before attending this workshop. This workshop is suitable for workers in clinical settings.

Understand the causes and impacts of trauma and how to effectively respond and promote recovery

Step up your trauma response skills with one of Australia’s most knowledgeable trainers. Find out everything you need to know to be able to understand and respond to trauma in the alcohol and other drug sector in a sensitive and evidence based way. You will come away with clear frameworks for understanding trauma and an effective toolkit in this essential area of practice.

Building on our Trauma Informed Practice workshop, you will deepen your knowledge of trauma and practice advanced strategies to effectively support people with trauma symptoms in alcohol and other drug treatment. Go deeper into understanding and responding to trauma and enhance your knowledge, skills and confidence in working with people who have experienced trauma.
