 Testimonials
Course content was useful and helps inform our professional practise. It presents information which helps change and mould workers’ perspective on the clients they work with. (Departmental Manager The Salvation Army)
 
I found I learnt more in one day at this training than I did in an entire university unit focusing on psychology of trauma! (Psychologist)
 
Having done past trauma workshops I felt that the information provided and tools to take away were by far the best I have seen. (Social worker)
