What is trauma? Sometimes we find other peoples’ behaviour difficult to understand or respond to. Challenging behaviour can be frustrating and limiting for all concerned - while also draining resources. Research shows us that aggression, anxiety, depression and many chronic health conditions can stem from past traumatic experiences. Psychological trauma is what happens when a person’s stress response is overwhelmed by one or more distressing events or situations which have a lasting impact on the brain. We do not often talk about it, but we all know people who have experienced it. Our training will give your staff the tools to respond more effectively to challenging behaviours caused by trauma, allowing you to address persistent issues sustainably, increase productivity and improve staff well-being.

WAVE Trust played a key role throughout this period in developing understanding of both the causes of violence and the evidence-based approaches to tackling it." (Mike Taylor, Chief Superintendent and Head of Specialist Crime Reduction for the Metropolitan Police 2003-15)
