About the CPD Course

This course is for people who may encounter a potentially traumatic (or critical) incident at work. You will learn about the psychological and physiological response to workplace trauma (whether from a single event or cumulative, chronic trauma) and about post trauma reactions. You will learn a range of self-help strategies that are effective in managing the majority of post-traumatic stress reactions and in building resilience in chronic situations. This psychoeducation will help you recognise reactions in yourself and others and be empowered in managing these. You will learn about recovery from workplace trauma and when professional support is appropriate.
