Helping staff has to be more than making them Trauma Aware
​
Our mission is to help staff to develop the confidence to know how to respond to their clients while keeping their trauma in mind
​
Our training approach is
Practical
Safe
Hybrid
In-person training
We build staff confidence by empowering them to combine new knowledge from the training with their own judgement to decide which therapeutic skill to use, or how and when to set a boundary with their clients.
This encourages shared learning across the team
Staff collectively feel energised by the discussion and enthusiastic to apply it
It is important that staff feel safe to be able to share with one another.
Psychological safety
As Qualified Therapists delivering the training, we are able to create a safe space for staff to openly reflect through facilitated discussions about their experiences of supporting people who have been through trauma.
This increases compassion towards each other and their clients
Staff feel more confident about discussing their feelings in supervision

Frequently Asked
Questions
-
How long will it take me to complete the course?In total, the 12 modules are around 4 hours in length, but we wouldn't recommend that you watch them all in one go. For the best experience, we would recommend that you watch 1 or 2 modules a week and use the time in between to reflect on what you have learnt and how it relates to your practice.
-
How do I become an Accredited CAT Therapist?The route to becoming an accredited CAT Therapist is through an approved Practitioner course, which requires both academic and practice based assessments. You can find out more about this from the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT). However, clinicians often complete an introduction course to CAT, like this one, before undertaking the full 3 year practitioner training.
-
What is the Monthly Q&A access?One of the Tutors offers an online Q&A session each month which can be accessed as part of your standard Introductory course enrolment. The Q&A is between 30 minutes and an hour depending on the number of students attending. You can not bring confidential patient information to this space, it is focused on questions about the model.
