TIPSS

Implementation of Trauma-Informed Practices to Support Survivors of DV (TIPSS)

Within the framework of the project we will organise four 3-day training cycles in Tallinn, Rakvere, Pärnu and Võru.

The training days (24h in total) will focus on the specifics of trauma-informed practice.

The trainee will:
1. understands the nature and risk factors of psychological trauma;
2. distinguish between trauma event, experience and impact and understand the relationship between them;
3. can recognise the symptoms of trauma;
4. understand the principles and assumptions of trauma-informed practice;
5. understands the risks of re-victimisation and knows how to avoid re-victimisation;
6. understands the risks involved in the work of a counsellor and is familiar with common strategies for dealing with secondary trauma.

Trainers: Kaija Kikkas, Margo Orupõld, Pille Tsopp-Pagan, Mariana Saksniit, Pille Tsopp-Pagan.

The project is co-funded by the European Family Justice Centre Alliance.
