Building on the theory and science of trauma from Trauma Informed Care Part 1, this session focuses on behaviour and practice and offers strategies and opportunities to consider how to support and work with those who have experienced trauma and are in the shelter system.  This workshop uses a framework for supporting service user social-emotional competency, self-management and the enhancement of resilience skills.  Participants will have various opportunities to discuss and practice supportive skills for trauma informed service care in the shelter system.
