City-Wide Trauma Awareness, Sensitivity and Healing Through Relationships
2.6 A City focused on partnership, prevention and upskilling In 2019, Cork City Council led a call to action for interagency collaboration to provide front-line staff and management across the city to attend Trauma training free of charge. As a city, we wanted to ensure that as many barriers were removed as possible allowing a wide net to be cast to ensure the training reached as many front-line practitioners as possible. The aim was to enable the development of a framework, which would begin the groundwork towards a shared understanding and language in relation to Trauma and its impact right across the lifespan. The training also provided a foundation for the development of practical tools to be used across the services in Cork. To date over 500 front-line practitioners have been trained in 4 full days of Trauma training.
350 individuals attended 2 Days Training on Understanding the impact of relational and developmental trauma and disrupted attachment on children’s brains, bodies, emotional, relationships and behaviours, including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
