TATE
At PTSD Resolution, we have been working with trauma for years. Now, more than ever before, good quality information about this subject is crucial
We provide bespoke training solutions for individuals and organisations seeking to ensure that they, and their staff, are able to cope well during difficult times, identify when problems may be emerging and, most importantly, know what tools, strategies and support mechanisms they can use to recover, if a problematic post-traumatic response does arise.
Training is currently delivered online, using a video conferencing platform such as Zoom, meaning that employees working from home can easily attend. The training sessions are live and fully interactive, with ample opportunity for group discussions and individual questions to the trainer.
Our TATE sessions vary in length, from a two-hour interactive presentation through to a full day of teaching and activity, and are designed to introduce staff, line managers and senior management to key understandings about trauma, and then to use this information as a firm foundation for exploring how to both prevent and recover from symptoms and move from post-traumatic stress towards post-traumatic growth.

Who will benefit from this course:
NHS staff, Blue Light Service Personnel, managers, line managers, security and counter-terror operatives, HR and Learning & Development staff, and, indeed, all staff members in all organisations.
The course enables attendees to:-
• Recognise the signs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress
• Understand why these symptoms occur and how trauma ‘works’ (confusion and fear around symptoms plays a large part in individuals not seeking help)
• Develop coping and self help strategies which can both prevent difficulties and promote recovery from symptoms
• Identify ways in which an organisation can create an environment that empowers staff to build resilience and thrive - even during difficult times
PTSD Resolution is the first national treatment agency to offer TATE, based on the successful programme used by our therapists to help UK Forces' Veterans. Our trainers also have a wealth of clinical experience working with front-line NHS and blue-light service personnel.
Feedback we have received:
“The best day’s training I have ever attended. Period.”

“Makes very complex issues easily understandable and I am taking away far more than I expected from today. I know what signs to look out for now and I’ll feel much more confident dealing with students who are distressed.”

“I recognised my husband in so many of the slides that were shown today. Now I know what’s going on I can try to encourage him to get help and know where to turn to get it”.
