Moving Towards becoming a Trauma Informed and Trauma Responsive Organisation
We are delighted that this event marks the start of a wider programme of Trauma-Informed training for practitioners working with children and adults throughout Cornwall. This programme is designed to develop skills and understanding and participants are expected to have a prior understanding of trauma.
An adversity, culturally, dissociation, and trauma-informed, infused, and responsive organisational lens acknowledges & advocates that “trauma-informed” practice is so much more than a buzz word, a one-off training event, a fruit bowl being placed in a reception area, an adapted policy collecting dust on a shelf, or a tick-box exercise. It is more about meaningful multi-layered whole-system wide transformation; and is a journey. This focuses on supporting, creating, embedding, & & sustaining cultural & paradigm shifts & transformation across all levels of the organisation.
Within trauma-informed organisational change there are various steps, guiding values, & stages; however, like with people, this can be slow, complex, not linear, & messy. Therefore, the progress, development, embedding, & sustaining of meaningful trauma-informed ideas, attitudes, policies, & practice is an ongoing process & a journey.
