Course Description

Psychological trauma is a growing area of both academic and professional interest. There is an increasing recognition that a wide variety of occupations and professions are working with traumatised populations on a daily basis.

An understanding of the needs, and what can be identified as best practice in terms of working with traumatised individuals, can vastly improve a person’s engagement and recovery. The underlying philosophy behind the course is an inclusive holistic view of trauma, focusing on the contributions of neurological, psychological and sociological views of psychological trauma throughout.
