A space to talk about…
One of the key aspects of trauma-informed and trauma-responsive practice is reflective practice. It is important that we as practitioners have space and time to be able to reflect on the way we work by sharing knowledge and experience.
RSVP would like to offer you that space to discuss different aspects of working with people subjected to trauma. These sessions will be safe spaces where reflection and active participation will be encouraged. There will be some information provided but it is not a ‘training’ session in the traditional sense. These spaces will be facilitated by an experienced group facilitator.
If you would like to book a place onto any of these sessions follow this link:
