TRIBE Trauma Informed Care
Trauma Informed Care Training
From surviving to thriving: evidence-based training for those who care for children with trauma
Every child deserves the chance to heal from trauma — and every parent or carer deserves the right tools to help them.
TRIBE Trauma Informed Care Training
is more than just a course; it’s a lifeline for families and professionals who want to make a lasting difference. Designed by trauma specialists, it combines science with compassion, giving you the skills, strategies, and confidence to support children who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). TRIBE training forms the foundation for everything else we do — from therapeutic support, to consultations, to our wider TRIBE community — ensuring you have a strong, lasting base to build on. Undertake TRIBE training on it's own or combine it with TRIBE assessment, therapy or parent consultation to create the best support for your child!
TRIBE training is the essential first step in building healing, resilience, and brighter futures for children with trauma...
