Compassion Circle
Supporting trauma-informed practice in Bolton.
Boltons Trauma-Informed Journey
In 2023/24 we worked with Bolton Public Health and the VCSE sector to create content, for a toolkit called Trauma Informed Communities.
We are now looking for 30 VCSE organisations to take part in Compassion Circle. This is a trauma-informed learning programme to help teams and organisations embed healing-centred practices across their work. The programme will share powerful tools, immersive training, coaching and mentoring and develop a network of advocates.
Interested?
Applications have now closed. We look forward to sharing how the project is going, here and on our socials!
