Pamela Armitage is a renowned expert in trauma-informed teaching and has written and spoken extensively on the topic and the desperate need of these practices within the self defense and martial arts industry.

Trauma Informed and Trauma Sensitive Teaching is an approach that recognizes the impact of trauma on students' lives and learning, and seeks to create a safe and supportive learning environment. By incorporating these principles into teaching practices, educators can help students who have experienced trauma to feel more supported, empowered, and successful in their learning, as well as their healing and growth.

Here are just a few testimonials from clients who have taken this training in the past:

"As far as education goes, I would not count myself as an expert - more someone who has woken up to the importance of this in all teaching. For me the benefits of doing Pam’s courses have been twofold: immediate simple systems which can be applied straight away to make teaching more inclusive/effective. And a critical analysis of the field which opens up the resources to enable anyone to develop an in-depth understanding of trauma-informed practice. So both practical and progressive." - Mary Stevens, Athena Karate and FairFight India Co-ordinator, Oxfodrshire, UK

"There are so many little nuances we do not think about that might act as a trigger for a student who has gone through a trauma. Pamela was very thoughtful and insightful in her approach to teach us. I learn a lot in the 90 minutes we spent together but I also know that there is SO much more to learn. Thank you for the introduction to Trauma Informed Teaching Pamela!!" Shirley (Boston)

“Pam is a gifted teacher. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience on trauma sensitive training and I would wholeheartedly recommended her webinars to all self-defence instructors”. Branko (Australia)

"Trauma is something not thought about until you have to deal with it, whether it be your own personal trauma or that of one of your students.  Pam did a fantastic job discussing these areas and bringing to light ways in which, as instructors, we can create a space that will encourage those students to feel safe, allow them to learn and grow, and help them find tools and support to recover. Pam also went into detail on the signs people might unknowingly be displaying as a result of the trauma they are experiencing. Anyone who teaches yoga, martial arts or is a coach/trainer of any sort would benefit from attending this webinar. A student dealing with trauma might not talk about it, however that doesn’t mean they aren’t showing signs. Thank you Pam for your time and dedication " - Rob (Boston)
