This directory exists to celebrate collaboration and build bridges between services, training providers, and advocacy groups working to support survivors and communities worldwide.

  • Strengthen our collective impact across trauma-informed practice

 

🏢 How to Add Your Organisation

    • Mental Health & Trauma Support

    • Training, Consultancy & Research

🔍 Tips for Visibility

  • Keep your post title short and clear.

  • Include your website or social link for easy access.

  • Use your focus areas (e.g. CSA, Training, Advocacy) as keywords so others can find you through the search bar.

 

🛡 Forum Conduct

BTAN is a safe, professional space. Please:

  • Post only your own organisation’s listing.

  • Refrain from advertising unrelated services.

  • Use respectful, inclusive language at all times.

All submissions are reviewed to maintain quality and alignment with BTAN’s mission.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Trauma-Informed Practice Training

ACCPH Accredited • 6 CPD Points

Understanding Trauma Beyond Theory

A practical and engaging exploration of trauma, its impact on the brain, body and behaviour, and how professionals can create safer, more effective and compassionate environments for people affected by adversity and trauma.

Delivered by Mayameen Meftahi BEM, Founder and Lead Trauma Specialist at BeyondTrauma Academy CIC and creator of the award-winning BeyondTrauma™ Recovery Programme, this training brings together professional knowledge, lived experience and survivor-informed insight to provide a deeper understanding of trauma and recovery.

Combining lived experience with professional practice, Mayameen offers insight into the realities of trauma, the responses that can sit beneath behaviour and the practical approaches that can support people more effectively.

This training moves beyond theory, helping professionals understand the real-life impact of trauma and how to embed trauma-informed principles into everyday practice.

What You’ll Explore:

Understanding Trauma
Develop a clearer understanding of trauma, adversity and the ways traumatic experiences can continue to influence thoughts, emotions, behaviour, relationships and everyday functioning.

The Brain, Body & Survival Response
Explore what happens when the brain and body perceive threat, including the role of adrenaline and survival responses, and why these responses can continue even when immediate danger has passed.

Triggers & Trauma Responses
Understand how obvious and less obvious triggers can activate trauma responses and how these may present through anxiety, avoidance, anger, withdrawal, emotional numbing or other behaviours.

Looking Beneath Behaviour
Explore how behaviours that can appear challenging, disengaged or difficult may make greater sense when viewed through a trauma-informed lens — helping professionals move away from judgement and towards understanding.

Trauma-Informed Communication
Consider the impact of language, professional interactions, trust, choice, boundaries and communication on someone who has experienced trauma.

Creating Safer Professional Practice
Explore practical ways professionals and organisations can reduce the risk of further distress, promote emotional and psychological safety and embed trauma-informed principles into everyday interactions and environments.

From Understanding To Application
Apply the learning to real-world professional practice and consider what can be done differently within your own role, team or organisation.

Who Is This Training For?

This training is suitable for professionals and teams working with children, young people or adults who may have experienced trauma, adversity, abuse or violence.

It can support work across:

Education • Health & Social Care • Criminal Justice • VAWG & Survivor Services • Community & Voluntary Organisations • Frontline & Support Services

No previous specialist trauma training is required.

Delivery Options

3 Hours • Half Day • Full Day

Training can be commissioned for organisations and professional teams through live online or face-to-face delivery.

Longer formats provide additional space for discussion, reflection, practical application and exploration of trauma-informed practice within the organisation’s own setting.

Accredited Professional Learning

ACCPH Accredited • 6 CPD Points

Participants completing the accredited training receive certification recognising their continuing professional development.

Bring This Training To Your Organisation

Give your team the knowledge and practical understanding to look beyond behaviour, recognise trauma responses and respond with greater awareness, compassion and confidence.
