Trauma sensitivity training

Trauma sensitivity training is education that helps people understand how trauma impacts individuals’ reactions and behaviors. It teaches awareness of trauma’s effects and encourages respectful, compassionate interactions. The goal is to create a safe environment, minimizing re-traumatization and promoting healing. Such training benefits educators, healthcare providers, social workers, and others by improving communication and support for those who have experienced trauma. It emphasizes empathy, patience, and recognizing signs of trauma to respond appropriately and foster trust.
