Rock Pool Life CIC

Practical trauma-informed training and development


We equip frontline workers with the concrete skills they need to help people affected by psychological trauma. 

Our training programmes combine real practitioner experience with evidence-based methods, teaching your team how to recognise trauma responses and work effectively with vulnerable individuals.

Experts by experience in 

  • trauma-informed practice 
  • developmental trauma 
  • domestic abuse
  • sexual violence

Our programmes are designed to be delivered across a range of agencies whether you work you in adult or children’s services and we are aware that increasingly practitioners are needing to remain agile to work across all sectors.

By providing innovative courses, we encourage working across traditional silos to engage approaches for adults and children.

We provide the tools to enable practitioners to reduce individuals vulnerability and thereby decrease demand on over-stretched services.

Our Services

We provide:

  • comprehensive team training packages
  • individual professional development
  • support for organisations to become trauma-informed

We also offer complete facilitator training that enables professionals to deliver structured trauma-informed programmes for adults and children who have experienced trauma and abuse. These ready-to-use materials give your team everything needed to run effective group sessions.
