Introduction to Trauma -Informed Practice With People Who Use Substances
INTRODUCTION TO TRAUMA -INFORMED PRACTICE WITH PEOPLE WHO USE SUBSTANCES
Overview
An introduction to trauma and to ACEs and their relationship with people who use drugs.
Aim
This training will introduce the causes and types of trauma and will enable participants to appropriately respond to disclosures of trauma.
Please Note
This course includes studies of people with lived-experience of trauma, in particular the survivors of childhood sexual abuse. It also includes exploration of adverse childhood experiences, loss and bereavement. We recognise that these experiences and themes can at times be challenging for participants and can cause us to reflect on our own experiences. We aim to create a safe and supportive environment by offering two facilitators on the course to debrief should anything arise during the course.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the session participants will be able to:
- Describe trauma-informed practice.
- Recall the different types and causes of trauma which may be experienced by others.
- Identify behaviours and coping strategies associated with trauma.
- Describe the relationship between drug/alcohol use and trauma.
- Identify how to respond to disclosure of trauma.
- Identify techniques to recognise and manage issues experience by supporting staff, eg. burnout including self-care.
