For Staff

A workforce that recognises trauma and works in a trauma-informed way is integral to the recovery of people who have experienced it.
A trauma-informed professional community understands the nature of trauma, its impacts and possibilities for recovery. By building a trauma-informed professional community Blue Knot not only upskills and empowers people who work with people who have experienced trauma but supports them to stay healthy and well and creates safety in our services and organisations.
