Embracing Growth, Resilience & Connection After Adversity with Epione’s Trauma Informed Training

Our trauma-informed training ranges from NES Level 1 to Trauma-Informed Leadership training. NES Level 1 enables attendees to understand person-centred interactions in a way that prevents further harm and supports recovery from trauma and adversity. On the other hand, Trauma-Informed Leadership training enables an organisation to begin to set out its own course of action in creating a culture of trauma-informed and trauma-responsive practice.

The training courses can run as ‘open registration’ or ‘closed in house’ for a specific team or service. Epione utilises an array of learning and teaching styles, including small group discussions, experiential reflection, multimedia methods, and learning inputs either in person or online. The training is highly participative, and case studies and live examples will be interwoven throughout. Most importantly, Epione aims to ‘train the trainer’ and make the training informative, fun, and engaging so that all participants have the confidence to employ the practical tools acquired during training in their workplace, and so delivers a trauma-informed and responsive practice to improve outcomes.

  • "I initially found out about Epione through twitter, and found their posts to really resonate with what I was teaching in a Victimology module at University. I was really inspired by the work that they were doing and arranged for training for academic and professional service colleagues within Higher Education. The day was fantastic, worthwhile, inspiring and thought provoking. Trainers modelled trauma informed practice throughout the day and engaged the group in insightful and inspiring conversations and this has had an immense impact in our organisation.

    I cannot thank Epione’s colleagues enough for this training, as well as the ongoing support, laughs, positivity and energy that they have brought to our module and team".

    Suzanne Graham, Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice at UWS

  • "I have been fortunate to attend training by Epione Training & Consultancy and would not hesitate to recommend them. They manage a nice balance between theory and skills, which is relevant to both my role and my organisation. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, are all excellent facilitators, and even manage moments of humour to promote self-care. I look forward to our next steps together as they support our journey in becoming a more trauma informed organisation."

    Angie Pinkerton, Trauma Informed Practice Officer, South Ayrshire Council

  • “I can still remember my first Epione lightbulb moment, March 2019, everything through their teaching TI lens made sense. Working with Epione to support our transformational plan 3 years on and the bulb is still lighting up! With Epione the TIP principles are always very much alive ‘in the room.’ If as a country, we’re serious about healing and lasting change, everyone needs to get on this training”.

    Lorraine McNally, Lead Officer, Policy & Practice Development, East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership

  • "As a leader in public services, I have seen the transformation in the organisation, in the growth of strong, trusting relationships between workers and the people they work with and support."

  • "The possibilities are endless!! Little things like how to engage with clients, any priorities, how I would like co-workers to engage with clients. Bigger things: challenging how the organisation looks and feels for the people we serve."

  • "Kairos Women+ wre were excited to receive a recommendation from The Robertson Trust for Epoine Training, and met Dawn and Alex for two full-day Trauma-skilled sessions, first exploring theory and then practice. Trauma-focussed training can often feel overwhelming, however, Epione practice what they preach and create a safe, welcoming and reflective environment to enable meaningful learning and discussion. They adapted the training to meet our particular needs as a small charity and creating a bespoke session, which far surpassed our expectations. We came away feeling motivated, capable and curious to explore the topic further. We highly recommend Epoine, they live and breathe their values and any experience with them is sure to be a positive one."

    Katy Wilson-Scott, Senior Coordinator, Kairos Women+

  • "We invited Epione to deliver a training workshop for our languages staff on the recommendation of colleagues who had previously worked with Epione. The workshop was fantastic - interactive, educational and tailored to our needs within the University. The workshop was clearly designed with our particular circumstances in mind. Since the workshops, our school has set up a trauma steering group which many of the workshop attendees are involved with. Alex and Rachel were great facilitators and I would happily recommend them to any educational institution looking to take trauma-informed practice seriously".

    Dr Katy Hight Lecturer in English Language & TESOL UWS
