Overview

Trauma-Informed Practice – Training with Bonus Courses in Child Mental Health and Mental Health First Aid & Wellbeing

The Trauma-Informed Practice course from Training Excellence is a thorough training for educators, carers, and professionals dealing with children and young people who may have experienced trauma. This course teaches the knowledge, practical skills, and tactics required to establish safe, supportive, and empowered environments that encourage recovery and positive development.

The course investigates how trauma effects child development, behaviour, and mental health, while teaching learners how to detect trauma responses, respond compassionately, and use trauma-informed ways in everyday practice.

Two supplementary courses—Child Mental Health Training and Mental Health First Aid & wellness—are included in this bundle to improve the training. These courses offer critical skills to support emotional wellness, identify mental health crises, and react appropriately in educational and care settings.
