- Description
-
First Person Plural offers a range of training and other educational sessions on dissociation, complex dissociative conditions and related issues.
These can be commissioned by voluntary, statutory and private sector organisations to be delivered in-house either as part of your own training provision for staff / volunteers or as a locally organised event open to a wider audience.
We have two introductory level one day training programmes:
- Understanding Dissociative Distress
- Supporting Someone with DID
See the First Person Plural website for a printable pdf document outlining these courses, including a sample programme.
We can also provide brief awareness-raising sessions – anything from one hour to half a day. This can include a showing of our introductory training DVDs or we can provide speakers, workshops and information displays.
Types of training topics covered
Training may include:
- defining dissociation and the role of dissociation in surviving abuse and trauma
