Adult 2 Day Foundation Training ('Keeping Trauma in Mind')

Adult 2 Day Foundation Training (‘Keeping Trauma in Mind’)

Looking to train a group, whole team or organisation in emotional health and wellbeing?

The Togetherness Adult Foundation Training introduces the same principles from our Foundation Training but with a focus on application in contexts working with adults, particularly those who have experienced trauma. It looks at the Solihull Approach model as integrative theories and applies to practical examples within adult care work contexts to consider the importance of relationships and nurturing connected, sensitive and responsive interactions. Developed by psychologists, child psychotherapists, and practitioners, the Adult Foundation Training is evidence-based and highly rated across sectors. It introduces a way of thinking and working with vulnerable adults, families, and/or parents that transcends professions and communities. The Approach helps practitioners to understand more about brain development to read and shape behaviour, communication, and emotional health to improve mental health outcomes for people.

For practitioners who predominately work with adults.

What difference will it make?

The Adult Foundation Training is designed to equip practitioners with an effective approach to supporting families and improving emotional health and wellbeing for adults who have experienced trauma.

Equipped with this knowledge and working through a series of real-life case studies prepares practitioners to engage service users with confidence to make a real and lasting impact.
