Grounded in relational neuroscience, trauma-informed practice and disability rights frameworks in Aotearoa, this workshop explores how trauma impacts the nervous system, how distress shows up in behaviour, and how support practices can either reduce harm or unintentionally add to it.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Understand what trauma is and how it can show up in the lives of disabled people and their whānau
- Explain key principles of relational neuroscience and nervous system regulation
- Recognise how their own nervous system responses influence interactions
- Apply practical co-regulation and de-escalation strategies in moments of distress
- Identify ways to prevent or reduce re-traumatisation
- Strengthen mana-enhancing, rights-based practice that upholds self-determination and supports sense of felt safety.
