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, FairFight, UK"Teachers and students alike! I *cannot* recommend this webinar enough. I’ve attended it twice and both times, every second was packed with totally clear, up-to-date information, along with specific scenarios and suggestions for teaching that are immediately relatable and useful.Through fierce empathy and attention to detail, these webinars show teachers a clear path to avoid projecting their own traumas onto their students, and empower them, mitigating triggers inside and outside the classroom. And it’s not as if this material is only useful in the context of teaching/ learning! I’ve found myself regularly drawing on what I've learned here, feeling more grounded and ready to catch my own issues and build stronger, more constructive dynamics. I’m fully behind Pamela’s drive for trauma-awareness being widespread, and essential in our daily lives. This stuff works. This was a key spark for my dissertation. This is worth your time!" - Jay Johns, UK"If you are in the self defense industry and have not take Pamela Armitage’s trauma aware training class, you should probably change that ASAP. The course is well researched, organized, and presented. I was impressed with how much I took away from the material! I feel it will truly help coaches get a better grasp on teaching people with trauma. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much Pam for all the work you do!" - Randy King, Randy King Live, Canada
