This training is for Aged care workers, and all others working in the aged care settings
Over half the population will experience at least one significant traumatic event in their lifetime, and around
one in ten people will develop post-traumatic stress at some point. Whether trauma stems from a single
incident, such as a natural disaster, or from ongoing or repeated experiences, it shapes how a person thinks,
feels, and behaves.
Why complete Trauma-Informed Care Training?
Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) acknowledges the widespread impact of trauma and
emphasises safety, trust, and emotional regulation. Across health care, social
services, and frontline roles, understanding trauma is key to responding effectively to
challenging behaviour and preventing re-traumatisation.
By increasing your understanding of how trauma affects people, you will feel better
prepared to respond when someone becomes distressed, anxious or disruptive.
When a person who shows challenging behaviour trusts you, you gain a clearer
sense of how to reach them, communicate in ways that feel safe, and support them to
regain a sense of calm and control.
This training will help you to:
- Build awareness of core trauma-related
concepts - Understand the science behind trauma
and how trauma influences behaviour - Apply the Six Guiding Principles of a
Trauma-Informed Approach - Use seven practical tips to reduce the
risk of re-traumatisation - Access additional resources to continue
learning with your staff
