Trauma-Informed Line Management

Overview of Course

Building and sustaining trauma-informed organisations and line management

For line managers and organisational leads

This training is run by our Clinical Director, Dr Katherine Cox

This training is designed to give whole teams and/or management teams the opportunity to consider what the principle of being trauma-informed means in practice and reflect on the extent to which their organisation is trauma informed throughout its structure, processes and service.

• Consider our history with authority (ours and the people we line manage as well as our own line manager).

• Apply trauma-informed values and ethic to all areas of our work.

• Where are we getting it right more of the time? Where could we improve – as individuals and as a collective.
