Trauma Skilled Foundation

This programme provides the foundational understanding for all TAG Skilled Practice programmes, whether focused on the welfare of your staff and/or the people you support and interact with in your services.

It builds on the TAG Trauma Awareness eLearning (included) and considers where psychological trauma exists and how it presents in your own role and setting. Importantly it introduces the TAG Trauma Calm, Connect, Communicate Model, a practical approach for trauma and shame sensitive interactions.

Psychological trauma frameworks are consistent in recommending everyone who interacts with people who may have experienced trauma should be ‘Trauma Skilled’. At TAG we focus on developing the skills local services and teams need to become trauma informed in practice, not just words and aspirations.

‍

Learners completing this foundation programme will:

• Consider how trauma from adverse experiences as children or adults may exist in their own setting i.e. for staff and the people they support and/or interact with
• Recognise signs of trauma-related emotional, physical and relational behaviours
• Learn how the practical TAG Calm, Connect, Communicate Model can enhance their trauma informed interactions and relational skills

Thank you for a valuable learning experience. As someone who experienced trauma as a child, I felt safe and supported. Absolutely excellent.
