- Building a trauma-informed environment and culture: Understand how to develop trauma-informed approaches in your work, using the Trauma Informed Derbyshire guiding principles.
- Sustaining a trauma-informed workforce: Learn about organisational and team factors that can protect staff from the impact of working with trauma.

The short video below will introduce you to the programme and outlines what it contains.
Trauma Informed Derbyshire is the title of a programme of work being led by Derbyshire’s Public Health department – to support and accelerate knowledge across the system about the impact of trauma across the life course.
The vision is to build a trauma-informed workforce, that is able to recognise the impacts of trauma and respond in ways that promote recovery – overall reduce inequalities and increase the life chances for all who reside and work in Derbyshire.
With an overarching aim that by being trauma-informed we can better support those affected by trauma and champion the breaking of long-term cycles of deprivation, discrimination, and inequality.
