The National Trauma Transformation Programme (https://transformingpsychologicaltrauma.scot/) supports the shared ambition of the Scottish Government, COSLA and partners from across Scotland to develop a trauma informed and responsive nation and workforce that is capable of recognising where people are affected by trauma and adversity, able to respond in ways that prevent further harm while supporting recovery and can address inequalities & improve life chances.

This free webinar is designed to support leaders on this journey. The Scottish Trauma Informed Leaders Training (STILT) was developed by NHS Education for Scotland as part of the NTTP in recognition of the key role of leaders in driving trauma informed change through multi-agency and collabora ive approaches. The aim of the STILT programme is to support development of the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead trauma-informed change.

  •  To develop the capacity to appraise organisational systems, practices & policies through a “trauma informed” lens.
