Trauma-Informed Training Courses & Programmes

It's a frustrating search, isn't it? You're looking for training, but all you find are generic, "tick-box" CPD courses that are forgotten by the next day.

You need professional development in behaviour support that actually sticks. You need a framework that gives your team practical skills and a consistent language - not just a vague certificate.

That's what we do.

Our training is different because it's not academic theory. It's built and delivered exclusively by our founder, Ash, based on her 5 years of frontline experience and her personal, lived experience in the care system.

This isn't a generic, accredited course. This is a specialist, Neuro-Smart framework. When your staff are trained by us, they receive a Certificate of Completion from AshDHD Learning, proving they are competent in this specific, high-value model.

 

▷ Our Flagship: The 6-Month Founding Partner Pilot

This is our premier, all-in-one solution for homes that are serious about full culture change.

This is a 6-month implementation partnership where we embed the frameworks into your home. It's our most popular offer and is available for a limited Founding Partner Rate.

  • Bespoke, Personalised SPARK Care Plans for your children.

▷ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Are AshDHD courses "accredited"?
A: This is a specialist, founder-led framework, not a generic "off-the-shelf" course. Your staff receive a Certificate of Completion from AshDHD Learning, which proves they have been trained by the framework's creator in this specific, high-value, Neuro-Smart methodology.

Q: What's the difference between the Pilot and the Workshops?
A: The Workshops (SPARK and SWIFT+R) are standalone, 3-4 hour training sessions that teach your team the theory. The 6-Month Pilot is a full implementation service that includes both of those workshops, plus 6 months of coaching, personalised care plans and a final data report to embed it in your culture.

Q: Who delivers the training?
A: All training is delivered personally by our founder, Ash. This ensures the "lived experience" and "Neuro-Smart" ethos is at the heart of every single session.

Q: How is pricing structured?
A: We're 100% transparent. We offer two standalone workshops at £750 each (for up to 12 staff), and our intensive 6-month pilot programme is available for a limited £5,999 Founding Partner rate.

Barriers to ND Adaptation in Care Staff: Why It Happens and How to Fix It
You can have the best care plans in the file, but they are useless if your floor staff refuse to execute them.

Predictable Routines to Reduce ND Meltdowns in Residential Care
Managing a home where escalations are the norm is unsustainable for your staff and traumatic for the children. You deal with sudden aggression, property damage, and the constant, exhausting anticipation of the next crisis. This isn't just "challenging behavior" - it's a physiological response to a world that feels chaotic and unsafe. You need more than patience; you need a structural framework that stabilizes the environment before a meltdown even begins.
