Trauma Informed Practice: Interviewing Clients in Relation to Difficult Events and Difficult Circumstances eWorkshop 18-June-2024
Trauma informed practices guide workers in supporting clients in difficult circumstances. They also assist workers to manage their own stress and distress.
Many workers in many different settings have to interview clients in regard to difficult events in their lives or in relation to difficult circumstances (for example events in the client’s past, child protection concerns, disputes with neighbours). This can occur at intake as well as during ongoing work with a client.
Workers frequently find the anticipation of these interviews difficult as well finding the interviews themselves a source of distress. In addition, workers are, quite reasonably, concerned about the impact on clients of interviews where difficult events in their lives or difficult circumstances are discussed.

Trauma-informed practices guide workers in supporting clients in difficult circumstances. They also assist workers in managing their stress and distress.
Many workers in many different settings must interview clients regarding difficult events in their lives or about difficult circumstances they may be experiencing.
Workers frequently find the anticipation of these interviews difficult as well as finding the interviews themselves a source of distress. In addition, workers are, quite reasonably,
concerned about the impact on clients of interviews where difficult events in their lives or difficult circumstances are discussed. Also, delivering difficult news is a particular concern for some workers.
The training is aimed at developing the skills in conducting interviews with a particular focus on interviews where difficult events in the client’s life may be discussed and/or difficult circumstances in a way that is consistent with trauma-informed practices.
At the end of the training, the participants will:
Have extended their skills in conducting any type of interview
Have developed their skills in planning interviews regarding difficult events and difficult circumstances in a way that is respectful of the client and their needs
Have enhanced their skills in supporting clients during potentially difficult interviews
Have greater knowledge and skill in promoting their well-being in the workplace
Have developed their skills in delivering difficult news.
The training will be highly interactive and the participants will be encouraged to ask questions at any time.
Detailed notes will be provided.
