Explore the impact of secondary trauma and resilience in the caring professions through expressive arts

Expressive arts can facilitate a deep processing of the impact of secondary stress, whereby the carer remains separated from the traumatic experience. This is a specialist course, delivered by Sandy D’Silva, aimed at care professionals working in a range of settings and will explore the impact of secondary trauma, which is when a person experiences trauma by helping others who are traumatised. This includes community, health care, probation, social care services and youth work.

In this course, you will use creativity and various art forms to facilitate growth and healing. It will provide a chance to connect with others, reduce isolation and gain a shared knowledge. It will take place over two days. Sessions will comprise gallery-based exercises, group discussions and practical art making activities. There will be a half-day follow-up session, where participants will be asked to reflect on the process.

Sandy D’Silva is an independent trainer. She has over 20 years experience of working with trauma and has delivered a range of courses at Tate Liverpool.

Tate Liverpool is located on the Royal Albert Dock Liverpool. There is level access to the gallery through the main revolving doors and two side doors.

There are lifts to all Levels of the gallery, or alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Toilets are located in the basement and on Levels 1 and 2.
  • A Changing Places toilet is located in the ground floor foyer.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the front desk.
