Trauma Informed Relationships in Practice (In-Person)

Trainer: Ciaran Traynor, Associate Trainer and David Gillen, Social Work Consultant

Please note: this is an In-Person workshop (NOT virtual)

This training event will enable staff to explore adverse childhood experiences and resilience. Ciarán Traynor (CiNI Learning & Development Officer) will introduce the relevant theory and models (morning session) and the afternoon session will journey through the real-life personal, interpersonal and institutional trauma experiences of David Gillen (Social Work Consultant) to help you make sense of the theory and research on adverse childhood experiences, resilience, trauma and attachment.

This training will explore

• The personal, individual and societal lifelong impact of ACEs and trauma
• Local and national research on adverse childhood experiences and trauma
• What resilience is and how we can enable it
• The importance of self-care
