Welcome to the team

Trauma Education is co-ordinated by a sub-group under the leadership of Marianne Moutray.  Marianne was Director of Education at the School of Nursing and Midwifery Queen’s University, Belfast.

The team is enhanced by a network of experienced practitioners and facilitators who deliver programmes within their field of expertise, for example, ‘the impact of trauma on the body’, ‘intergenerational trauma’, ‘trauma and addiction’ amongst others impacted by trauma, vicarious trauma, and developmental trauma.

WAVE Trauma Education have developed a variety of accredited training courses in the field of trauma, loss and growth.  Much of the training has been influenced by over 31 years of service to those who have been bereaved, traumatised and/or injured through The Troubles in Northern Ireland and along the border counties.  Whilst courses are made available to all on a ‘first come first serve’ basis, essentially they have greater appeal to first responders working in the community, and to agencies impacted by trauma, vicarious trauma, developmental trauma and trauma and attachment.

In more recent years the range of courses on offer has been widened to include, ‘compassion fatigue’, ‘vicarious trauma’ and ‘trauma and attachment difficulties’.  WAVE Trauma Education have created a learning pathway that is unique on the island of Ireland.
