A   cutting edge, professional training in how to work with people whom have trauma and behaviour related issues. 

 

This diploma is designed specifically for people who work with young people and adults in any type of supportive capacity. Many practitioners working with children and teenagers in services such as youth offending, foster care, children’s homes and pupil referral units and social care are aware of trauma informed work, however we, at I.T.S believe we all need to go a step further and raise our standards of practice and enhance our knowledge of trauma. All material is underpinned by neuroscience and and combined with cutting edge information gathered from across the globe.  

 

For people to develop into stable adults with healthy levels of psychological functioning they need to feel safe, this course strategicly forms and develops your awareness and understanding of bottom up brain engagement to support a sense of safety and to enhance emotionally corrective experiences.
