This course is designed to help professionals identify signs of post-traumatic stress (PTS) in women and girls who have experienced vawg and to explore different aspects of complex PTS. Delegates will practise introducing the framework and offering information to women. There will be opportunities to learn about and try out basic strategies to overcome intrusive memories and flashbacks, to discuss avoidance or numbing and to reduce hyperarousal or hypervigilance. These strategies are intended to support women and girls once they are safe from violence or after their safety plans are in place.

No prior knowledge of therapeutic approaches is assumed. The course might be of most interest to professionals working directly with women who are recovering from their experiences of violence and who have responsibility for their individual support or key work.
