New online course: Understanding Trauma
Since the pandemic started, many more people than usual have experienced extremely stressful, distressing and/or frightening events, and many are finding that it has left them with traumatic stress symptoms. HG College has worked with Ros Townsend - a highly experienced psychotherapist who specialises in treating trauma - to launch a new online course, Understanding Trauma - effective treatment and recovery.
The course is suitable for anyone working with traumatised people including health and welfare professionals, as well as for members of the general public interested for either personal or professional reasons. Delivered online, the course shares clear, helpful information and techniques, clarifying why some people become traumatised and not others, the cause of extreme traumatic stress responses, the wide range of trauma symptoms, how to help someone who is suffering – and much more. Once purchased, the course offers life-long access and a CPD certficate (2.5 hours).
