This training is tailored to chaplains in educational settings, helping you become a more effective support for students who have experienced trauma.Session 1: The Chaplain as the First ResponderIn this session, you’ll learn how to recognise signs of trauma in students, such as mood changes, withdrawal, or disruptive behaviour. You’ll also be equipped with immediate strategies to offer supportive care when it matters most.Session 2: Why Words Are Not EnoughDive into the science of trauma, exploring how it affects the nervous system. Discover practical tools for helping students regulate their emotions, fostering a safe environment that goes beyond verbal support.

In this final session, you’ll learn how to bridge the gap between students and staff, ensuring that teaching staff understand the needs of traumatised students. You’ll explore techniques for effective communication and collaboration within the school setting, ensuring trauma-informed care is part of the wider support system.Price: Your £40 gives you access to recordings of all three sessions, plus handouts.
