Learning from a multi-agency trauma-informed care training initiative supporting people experiencing homelessness in rural and coastal areas: a qualitative study
Multi-agency trauma-informed training helps ensure consistent approaches across geographically dispersed services supporting people experiencing homelessness. When staff from different organisations train together, it builds a shared understanding of trauma, encourages collaborative working, and supports staff wellbeing. This integrated approach is particularly valuable in rural and coastal areas where service coordination can be challenging due to geographical dispersion and resource constraints.
