e-Lektra

In collaboration with an international team of experts, we have developed and offer a comprehensive online course on trauma-informed approaches free of charge. The course is aimed at educational staff and all professionals working with children and young people in general. The course deepens awareness of trauma and its impact on children's thriving and introduces effective ways to support children with traumatic experiences.

About the project

The e-learning course contains five follow-up modules

  1. Let's be supportive of children - take a trauma-informed approach
  2. The basics of supporting the development of trauma resilience
  3. How to address collective traumatic events with children and young people
  4. Dealing with trauma with children, families and carers
  5. Trauma in the context of conflict and displacement

For detailed information on the course content, please see the course annotation. Practical information on the legislative framework and support services in the Czech Republic can be found in the annex to the e-learning.

Spreading a trauma-informed approach in Czech education

We strive to ensure that all educational staff and other professionals working with children and youth learn the basics of a trauma-informed approach. Completing the course helps them to create a safe environment for children and promote resilience. Statistical data shows that a child affected by trauma occurs in every classroom. It is not uncommon to have multiple children whose education and inclusion in their peer group is negatively affected by trauma.

The war and the displacement associated with it are particularly difficult experiences. All those who care for children traumatised by war need knowledge about providing support. Trauma in the context of conflict and displacement is therefore the subject of a separate module in the online course.

To join the online course, fill in the registration form.
