Childhood trauma recovery is a sensitive and highly specialised field that requires compassion, informed knowledge, and practical skills. This course provides a comprehensive, evidence-based introduction to understanding how trauma affects a child’s emotional, cognitive, and social development. You will explore the key principles of trauma-informed care, how to recognise signs of distress, and how to create supportive environments that promote trust, resilience, and healing.

The curriculum guides you through the foundations of trauma, including how adverse experiences shape behaviour, relationships, and learning. You will learn how to communicate with children in safe and non-threatening ways, use supportive language, and build healthy connections that help them feel seen and understood. Special attention is given to emotional regulation techniques, practical grounding strategies, and how to support children as they navigate fear, sadness, confusion, or withdrawal.

Beyond direct support for children, the course also highlights the essential roles of caregivers, teachers, and counsellors. You will learn how adults can model emotional balance, reduce triggers, and work collaboratively to create trauma-sensitive spaces at home, school, and therapeutic settings. The course blends psychological insight with practical real-world application, making it suitable for both professionals and caring adults who want to strengthen their ability to respond effectively and compassionately.

By the end of this training, you will walk away with a deeper understanding of trauma, a toolkit of supportive approaches, and the confidence to help children feel empowered on their healing journey. Learners will receive a free course completion certificate, with additional premium certificates and transcript options available for purchase if desired. All students also benefit from 5-star rated support, available 24/7 via email to ensure a smooth learning experience from start to finish.
