National Volunteer Week – Trauma-informed Practice for Volunteers
Volunteers often support people during vulnerable moments. This session introduces a trauma-informed approach to help you respond with confidence, care, and respect.
You will gain an understanding of what trauma is and how it can show up in those affected. You will also learn how to manage your own boundaries and safety, so you can support others without putting yourself at risk of harm.
Through various scenarios, the session also explores how to respond when someone shares a difficult experience and some simple ways you can help them develop their own safety plan.
Finally, the session will highlight how small adjustments to everyday processes and decisions can create a more trauma-informed and supportive environment for everyone.
