ABOUT

This full-day educational workshop provides a safe space for people who have experienced abuse or trauma in childhood, to learn more about abuse and other traumas and how trauma experiences can affect people, at the time of the trauma, and afterwards.


It will raise awareness about survivors’ strengths and resilience, the role of coping strategies, how the brain responds to stress, and, most importantly, show that recovery is possible. 


Participants will gain information to help them build on their strengths, understand their reactions and find better ways to cope and identify strategies for positive change. Participants will also receive information about finding and engaging good support, accessing helpful resources and self-care.


This workshop is educational rather than therapy; it focuses on safety, self-care and support. While there is some group discussion during the workshop, there is no obligation to speak.



By participating in this professional development training, participants will:


1. Learn about childhood trauma, how common it is and how prior trauma may explain and/or relate to current challenges with relationships, self-esteem, health, wellbeing and other life issues

2. Identify strengths, the ways people coped in childhood, the ways they are coping now and consider the possibility of change

3. Understand more about the brain, trauma and stress

4. Explore strategies to help steady emotions and levels of arousal including learning about triggers and how to recognise and better manage them 

5. Learn where to find help, how to care for oneself, how to interact in healthy ways, and explore possibilities for recovery
