Trauma Responsive Care in Child Therapy On Demand Training
Move beyond trauma-informed knowledge and into trauma responsive practice.
About the Training
If you work therapeutically with children and families, you already know that understanding trauma is only the beginning.
The real work happens in the room. It happens in the moments of uncertainty, activation, repair, and choice.
This on-demand training is a warm, grounded, and deeply reflective learning experience designed to help you confidently integrate trauma-informed principles into your everyday clinical practice, in a way that honours children, families and yourself as the practitioner.
Who is this training for?
This training is suitable for any professional providing therapy or therapeutic support to children and families, including:
Social Workers
Psychologists
Counsellors
Occupational Therapists
Speech Pathologists
Play Therapists
Allied Health & Child-Focused Practitioners
It is ideal if you:
Want to deepen your confidence and responsiveness in practice
Are early in your career or have years of experience and want to refine how trauma-informed principles show up in the room
Value ethical, child-led, and reflective practice
Why Trauma Responsive Care Matters
Trauma-informed care tells us what matters. Trauma-responsive care asks us how we live those principles, moment by moment.
In child therapy, this means:
noticing how your nervous system shows up alongside a child’s
recognising when technique takes a back seat to relationship and safety
responding with intention rather than reflex
anchoring decisions in values, attunement, and felt safety
This training gently supports you to bridge the gap between knowing and doing, so trauma-informed care becomes something you embody, not just understand.
What You’ll Learn
Across the 2.5 hour on-demand training you’ll explore:
Foundations of Trauma Responsive Practice
The foundations of trauma, how it impacts children and families, as well as the Trauma Informed Care Principles.
Integrate Trauma-Informed Care Principles with Confidence
Ways you can integrate safety, choice, collaboration, trust and empowerment into your clinical decision making so you can make thoughtful and ethical choices in your work.
Therapist Self-Reflection
Discover how your own history, nervous system and lived experience can show up in the work. We’ll use reflection as a protective and strengthening practice.
Child-Led and Values-Based Practice
Learn ways to anchor your work in what matters to you as a therapist, as well as supporting children’s voice and agency.
