About The Event
Caroline Hodgson will give an introduction about being 'trauma informed' and how an awareness of this in our church context is so important. Specifically, she will help explore the following questions:
What is a Trauma Informed approach and what is some of the research and evidence that underpins it?
How do we as church/community begin to develop an effective 'Trauma informed' practice, and how could this add value?
How do we create safety for others and ourselves when using a Trauma Informed Approach?
What might any next steps look like ?
