Learn how you can make meaningful interventions for clients experiencing birth trauma

Specially created for Talking Therapy professionals, this online skills training day will guide you through successfully navigating the challenges of postnatal trauma so that you can deliver appropriate, effective and client-driven interventions. From getting to grips with the basics of birth trauma to improving your intervention strategies, this is an unmissable opportunity to develop and refine your therapeutic skills.


Your protected space to think about perinatal work and practical adaptations

Take one day out to focus on assessing, formulating and treating birth trauma. This is a unique opportunity for you to benefit from diving into and unpicking subjects within a complex topic and leave with a clear approach to supporting perinatal work and adaptations:

  • Understanding birth related PTSD: investigating the key factors that cause PTSD and identifying typical themes
  • Improving informed CBT therapy: developing your assessment criteria and trauma processing strategies
  • Advancing your approaches to tokophobia: understanding the risk factors and building an effective assessment strategy 
  • Developing practical ways to make new adaptations: putting your post interventions at the focus of your mental health service
  • Benefit from a protected space to think about perinatal work: take time out of your therapeutic practice to improve your approaches to perinatal trauma

5 hours Continuing Professional Development: what you will learn

Log off from this online training equipped with fresh ideas that will innovate and support your approach to evidence-based interventions. Overcome the barriers to engagement and treatment:

  • Evidenced based examples: dive into case studies to help you put theory into practice
