What about us? Overcoming trauma in the workplace

Why choose this course?

• staff working in social care expect to deal with difficult situations
• sometimes the level of distress experienced by users of their service plus a perception that the organisation is not adequately providing support can allow a worker to become unacceptably stressed
• intimidation and harassment, whether from angry users of the service or from dysfunctional managers, can undermine a worker’s confidence in their own professional capabilities and their own coping mechanisms
• positive results ~ staff feel supported by the organisation, strengthen their support systems and do not need to take time off from the work place

Time: 9.30 ~ 4.00 pm

Nature of training:

• Exercises will range from lecture style input (small) to discussion and small group work and to individual sharing within pairs.
• Hand outs will be provided to reinforce all theoretical input.
• Voice and bodywork may be used when appropriate.

Leapfrog Training will provide a second facilitator for this course if it is judged necessary to provide the right level of support necessary for a particular group.

Individual coaching is available both as preparation and following the course.
