Trauma-Informed Practice Skills and Strategies (TIPSS) training for those working with adults in Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board: Summary Report for the Pilot

Trauma-Informed Practice Skills and Strategies (TIPSS) provides practical skills to support people and organisations working at trauma-skilled and trauma-enhanced practice levels of the Trauma-Informed Wales Framework. The training is designed to build confidence and capability among frontline staff supporting individuals who have experienced, or are currently experiencing, trauma.

This report shares emerging findings from the proof-of-concept delivery of TIPSS for Health Care Support Workers working with adults in Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. Early results indicate increased confidence among participants in applying trauma-informed techniques, with several areas identified to inform the wider pilot phase.

Practice Level: The Wales Trauma-Informed Practice Framework has four defined practice levels. The levels describe the different roles that people may have within a variety of contexts and represent a spectrum rather than a hierarchy.
