We recommend Mental Health Studies - Understanding Behaviour, Burnout and Depression for training in understanding and supporting people with different mental illnesses that is worthwhile for laypeople as well as professionals. Fundamentals of Trauma Processing gives basic training in helping patients or clients to identify and process any traumatic experiences that are impacting their lives.

Even if you are not studying trauma as part of a qualification or for career advancement, it is still useful to understand it. You may see why divorce, addiction, abuse, depression and other major life upsets occurred because of underlying untreated and unrecognised trauma. It can help your mental health enormously to learn more about how violence, war, sex crimes and even poverty can trigger a trauma response.
