Understanding the lasting effects of trauma and how it shapes experiences is important when creating environments where participants feel safe and supported. This course will guide you through embedding wellbeing practices while incorporating an awareness of how trauma can influence behaviours and needs. You’ll explore practical frameworks and tools to enhance wellbeing in your projects or workplace, with a focus on building trust and supporting wellbeing.
Through interactive activities, we’ll also examine how trauma awareness connects with national guidance, such as Public Health Initiatives, and how it can align with sector-specific guidelines and funding priorities.

- The Role of Wellbeing: Understand the importance of mental health and emotional wellbeing in creative and cultural projects.
