Kaplan launches specialist trauma course
Kaplan has launched a course specialising in trauma and mental health, suitable for client-facing roles such as financial advisers and stockbrokers.
The Recognising Trauma and its Impact in the Workplace course was designed for individuals who may be working with colleagues or clients or managing staff impacted by trauma.
The six hour-long topics covered by course included trauma identification, implicit bias, trauma on the brain, possible trauma identification, what to do once trauma has been identified and how to speak with someone suffering trauma.
It was developed by Milo Arne Wilkinson, who was founder and program director of Kaplan’s neuroscience-based executive leadership program.
Brian Knight, chief executive of Kaplan, said: “From a workplace perspective, it provides practical and structural approaches to facilitate environments that allow people to be effectively supported throughout their experience and management of trauma.
“We know the challenges of the pandemic have only amplified the burden of trauma and its impact on mental health and stress for many people. In these situations, the workplace can often be a place of healing.
“The purpose of Recognising Trauma and its Impact in the Workplace is to help organisations consider a trauma-informed approach to help their employees feel safe, supported and empowered to take steps into the new normal with greater confidence.”
