Children who have experienced trauma can also experience a range of emotions and physical reactions, and as a consequence, their voices often become silent through interactions with other adults or institutions. Helping children to find their voice is among the most significant and important work that any practitioner can do as this enables understanding and healing from trauma.
Practitioners through all sectors, roles and professions can contribute to prevention and early intervention strategies by noticing and dealing with the effects of self-blame and secrecy.
This micro-credential is at postgraduate level, and should you wish to continue onto further postgraduate study, you will be required to present evidence that you meet the eligibility criteria relevant to that degree.
