National trauma training programme

Vision

Our overarching vision is to develop a trauma informed and responsive nation and workforce, that:

• is informed by people with lived experience
• recognises the importance of wellbeing in the workforce
• recognises where people are affected by trauma and adversity
• responds in ways that prevent further harm
• supports recovery
• and can address inequalities and improve life chances
