Service Description

Trauma-Informed Care Professional Development Workshops At Internal Growth Holistic Psychology, we deliver tailored professional development workshops designed to empower organisations and employees. Our sessions focus on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) principles, offering practical strategies to enhance practice, foster healing, and build inclusive, resilient environments. Why a Trauma-Informed Approach Matters. Trauma deeply impacts emotional, physical, and psychological well-being. Adopting a trauma-informed approach ensures sensitivity to the needs of survivors and helps create safer, more supportive systems. Key reasons to adopt this approach include: Understanding the Prevalence of Trauma: Trauma, including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), affects a significant portion of the population. Recognising this helps professionals avoid retraumatisation. Reducing Retraumatization Risk: Without a trauma-informed lens, systems may unintentionally replicate harmful triggers or power imbalances. Fostering Safety and Trust: Prioritising physical, emotional, and psychological safety is essential for survivors who may feel vulnerable or mistrustful. Promoting Empowerment and Choice: Trauma survivors often experience a loss of control. Empowering them through collaborative decision-making restores autonomy and self-efficacy. Improving Outcomes: Understanding trauma enables professionals to better support and engage individuals, leading to more positive results. Recognising Trauma's Impact on Behavior: Trauma can affect brain development, emotional regulation, and actions. A trauma-informed perspective avoids stigmatisation and fosters understanding. Enhancing Professional Effectiveness: Professionals can build stronger relationships, handle challenges effectively, and support resilience. Supporting Healing and Recovery: Acknowledging strengths and fostering opportunities for growth aids the recovery process. Core Principles of Trauma-Informed Care Safety: Ensuring a safe environment. Trustworthiness & Transparency: Building trust through clear communication. Peer Support: Encouraging shared experiences. Collaboration & Mutuality: Valuing partnerships. Empowerment: Recognising strengths and promoting autonomy. Cultural, Historical & Gender Responsiveness: Acknowledging diverse contexts of trauma. Trauma-informed care represents a paradigm shift in understanding and response. Contact us to explore how our workshops can meet your organisation’s unique needs.
