Foundations for Building Trauma Awareness

Posted Sunday 28 April 2024 | Mareeba and Communities Family Healthcare

Mareeba and Communities Family Healthcare is pleased to be able to host training by the Blue Knot Foundation. This training is the foundation to all educational programs Blue Knot offers on complex trauma.

This training program provides learners with a trauma informed lens to better understand the impacts and outcomes for people who experience complex trauma and utilises current research to provide an understanding of trauma, the impacts of trauma on all aspects of life and subsequently the coping mechanisms formed in response to trauma.

By participating in this training program, participants will:

• develop understanding of the types, prevalence, and impacts of trauma
• understand the neurobiology of trauma and the use of adaptive responses
• apply the principles of trauma informed practice to develop strategies which enhance safety, minimise retraumatisation and support recovery.
