During the month of January, Partner for Healing provided you with short training exercises to promote trauma-informed care. These exercises were designed for use in existing meetings such as staff meetings, treatment teams and refreshers. They will help your staff develop a deeper understanding of the experiences of people who have endured trauma, and a greater appreciation of trauma strategies for change. The first topic was What Helps People Change, in which we explore our own experiences with change. Next we focus on How Does It Feel to Live with a Constant Sense of Danger? which includes ways to help treaters connect with similar experiences in their own lives. Then we moved on to how to Train Staff to Use Formulation in Responding to Behavior that Hurts Others. Finally, we included exercises about Boundaries within Trauma-Informed Care. By focusing on the helper’s own personal experiences we can develop more empathy for our clients. By offering short training modules often we keep the concepts of trauma-informed care alive in our programs.
