Who is this toolkit for?
This toolkit has been developed for people who work or volunteer with communities, including Community, Voluntary, Faith-based and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector organisations.
Work in and with communities may support people representing a wide range of demographics, geography, identity and experience in relation to trauma and its causes. This toolkit and resources are also useful for public sector workers, commissioners and funders.
