This trauma and recovery course aims to provide education about the impact of trauma for anyone with personal experience or an interest in this area. This course is not intended to replace trauma informed care, trauma therapy or trauma informed peer support, but it can be used to support these approaches.
The intention of this course is to make information about trauma available in an online learning format so that everyone can benefit from a greater understanding of the impact of trauma, with the hope that this understanding will form part of their recovery, or help with someone else’s.
This course was created in collaboration with Angela Kennedy, former Trauma Informed Care Lead, Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust.
The course is made up of seven sections. Each section will take approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete, but this timing will depend on how fast you read and how long you spend on the reflective questions. You do not need to complete the whole course in one go. If you leave and come back to the course it will remember where you got up to.
