This micro-credential is aimed at practitioners who are working in contexts where trauma is impacting on the individuals and communities they serve. The course explores the nature, prevalence and impact of trauma, drawing on the latest theory and research in the field. Content includes, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), attachment disruption, community adversity, intergenerational trauma, and the conditions necessary for healing and resilience.
Through discussion, reflective journalling and critical praxis, practitioners will develop an understanding of peoples lived experience through a trauma lens, and explore the implications for trauma-informed education, care, or service design within their organisations. With a strong grounding in mindful compassion, the micro-credential also supports practitioners to develop their own self-care strategies to help protect against vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.

Experienced professionals with a minimum 3 years of documented relevant work experience are also eligible for admission.
