An Introduction to Psychological Trauma | Children & Young People | eLearning

Course Overview - Duration circa 90 minutes

Supporting children and young people with psychological trauma is a reality for people working in health, social care and education settings. Yet few are empowered with the right knowledge to support them as they work through this complex part of their roles..

This eLearning programme provides a rich understanding of psychological trauma, covering:

  • The nature of trauma, its major forms, and its causes  
  • An understanding of how trauma affects the workings of the brain and the body 
  • The effects of trauma on immediate behaviour and moods and long-term mental and physical health 
  • The importance of resilience, and its potential to mitigate trauma’s effects

This training provides a broad overview of these topics and is designed for anyone providing care and support to children and young people affected by trauma - no prior knowledge or experience is required.

This comprehensive programme provides a great starting point for those embarking on training and qualifications in trauma-informed approaches. It also provides a pragmatic, engaging and practical way for organisations to provide trauma-awareness training to their whole workforce.

This eLearning forms part of TAG’s suite of tools and resources to help organisations become trauma informed. A separate eLearning programme is also available for those working with adults.

I'm leaving some words here so it lets me press save. It really should say 'you have to rate the course' not 'you can rate the course'

Maybe have an exam at the end, to make sure that the information has been understood, having been bought up in a trauma environment and being Autistic and diagnosed with hypersensitivity and insomnia, I understood this a lot and has bought back a lot of memories, this was difficult to finish as it was triggering, as I was in care as a child because of neglect and abuse and being undiagnosed, hopefully this training helps others.
