Trauma Counselling Skills

Child Wise has developed a trauma counselling program for international communities where children have suffered abuse and trauma. This interactive course trains people to help children heal from the trauma they have experienced and also raises awareness of the importance of self care and resilience-building for volunteers and counsellors working with children.

The program educates and raises awareness on the indicators and long term impacts of trauma which includes child abuse. The emphasis on volunteer and staff self care will empower participants to develop creative strategies to prevent child abuse and sexual exploitation at a local level.

This program generally involves a long-term skills development strategy. Our package includes a 3-day introduction course and is ideally followed up by intermediate and advanced courses.
