Training & Talks
Empowering teams, managers and individuals to
navigate trauma, distress and heightened emotions
Our training programs are designed to equip professionals with the tools and knowledge to navigate trauma, distress and intense emotions effectively. Whether you are looking for a comprehensive trauma-informed training program or targeted standalone modules, we offer tailored solutions for specific practice areas, subject matters and industries.
“Camilla and Rebecca are obviously expert in their subject and communicate the science and concepts in a clear and interesting way. But what sets them apart is their extensive legal experience. They know, at first hand, the difficulties that vicarious trauma can pose to barristers, both personally and in their practice. This allows them to connect directly with, and gain the trust of, the barristers at their sessions so that they feel able to engage in the training in a full and open way. As a consequence, their training was very well received in chambers and we plan to work further with them in the future.”
