Young people experiencing trauma often face difficulties with emotional regulation, behaviour, and trust. To help youth workers recognise and respond to these challenges, we developed 'Facing Trauma', a practical and accessible educational toolkit. Launched in February 2025, this resource provides concrete materials and methodologies to explore trauma, stress, self-care, and emotional well-being.
To complement the toolkit, we also offer dedicated training sessions for groups. This interactive training allows participants to engage directly with the materials and gain hands-on experience in using them effectively. Following a train-the-trainer approach, the session provides participants with the knowledge, skills and concrete educational materials to integrate trauma-informed practices into their own youth work or to train colleagues in the use of our materials.
Find more details about the 'Facing Trauma' toolkit n our website.
