Trauma-Informed Assemblies, Workshops & Professional Training

Schools • Colleges • Youth organisations • Charities • Local authorities • Police • Prison & justice professionals

Rooted Wisdom delivers trauma-informed assemblies, workshops and professional training grounded in psychology, lived experience, and cultural awareness. Our work supports adults and young people to better understand behaviour, emotional regulation, and the impact of trauma — particularly within Black and marginalised communities.

Our sessions move beyond behaviour management, helping organisations shift from:

“What’s wrong with you?”

to

“What’s happened to you — and how can we respond safely?”

Our trauma-informed approach includes:

• Understanding trauma and adverse experiences

• Emotional regulation and nervous system awareness

• Identity, race, belonging and self-worth

• Unconscious bias, microaggressions and systemic harm

• Trauma-responsive communication and boundaries

• Reflective practice and emotional containment for staff

Delivery formats

• School assemblies (primary & secondary)

• Small-group workshops for young people

• Staff INSET days & professional training

• Bespoke sessions tailored to your setting

Outcomes

• Improved emotional safety
• Reduced behavioural incidents
•  Greater staff confidence
• Stronger relationships with young people

Testimonial
