Purpose
This course provides an overview of what we understand about abuse in childhood, its impacts, and an introduction to psychoeducation and routes to recovery. The course draws together some of the key learning survivors have told us was important to them and an integral part of their recovery.
Although this learning can complement therapeutic work for practitioners and clients, it is not therapeutic in itself. This course does not confer any formal qualifications.
There is no time limit for this course, and though we recommend allowing three hours, you can take longer. There are six activities where we recommend you make notes, which are also good places to take a break between topics. You can also log out and return to complete the course at a later time if you so wish.
What you will learn:
- The facts and figures behind abuse in the UK
- Understanding abuse
- Trauma responses
- Psychoeducation
- Recovery
- Self-care
Do I need to submit any written work?
The learning is self-directed. You will not need to submit any work.
What will I need to get the best out of this course?
- Notebook for recording your thoughts and reflections
- A suitable location in which to study
What if the course brings up certain thoughts and feelings for me; who can I talk to?
