Delivering Trauma Informed Care training & consultancy

I deliver training and consultancy that works in real life – we need a vision of how we want things to be but then start where you are right now, and look at how we move forward when demands are high and time is short.

Whenever I receive training I ask ‘so what?’ Fascinating as all the research & learning around Trauma Informed Care is (& it is 😁) if you don’t know how to apply that to the work you do, in the circumstances you do it, then not only can it increase stress, not much will change. And working in a TI way will make life easier for you, and more effective for those you support, when done in a realistic way.

Being TI includes:

  • Staff stress levels – there is so much we can do to improve this, that already works elsewhere, and is not only easy to implement but makes a big difference
  • The dilemmas we face, especially around managing behaviour and risk in a TI way
  • Organisational culture – start here and the rest will flow easier (but how & what?)
  • Targets and all the stuff that we need to do so we can actually help people
  • Looking at ourselves, how we may resist change, and the impact that can have on others, plus an honest look at how we approach inequalities

Just because you may not know how, or even believe things cannot improve, doesn’t mean it can’t, and I want to make it as easy as possible for you to keep growing.

I offer training and consultancy to suit your needs and budget so please feel free to look around my website and get a sense of how I work, and if you wish you can contact me to discuss further.

 Some of the feedback for my work:

‘…the feedback from your training was exceptional. Staff were so inspired they have gone away and done more reading. More please’

‘Kathryn gave a presentation at the event in January and we were so impressed we asked her to come and do something similar with the admin team.’

‘Better than I could have imagined and initially I was sceptical about attending but definitely feel it was needed and used and worked.’

 â€˜The training exceeded my expectations.  I thought that it might skim the surface and not get to the nitty gritty of what happens. Instead the course directly addressed the difficulties that we have found as a staff team and helped us to work together to find a way forward.’

‘Loved the sense of humour and trainer’s passion & knowledge’

 â€˜Would like this to be implemented across all of company & to underpin all we do (priority of Therapeutic Alliance and self-care in how work)’
