Shame experienced in encounters with professionals, such as healthcare workers, police, educators, social workers and other care professionals, can lead to withdrawal, avoidance, inaccurate disclosures and other forms of disengagement. Shame also impacts professionals, and evidence shows that shame is related to burnout, stress and trauma. The Introduction to Shame Competence 2-hour online training will help individuals and organisations begin to understand how shame is produced and experienced as a result of particular interactions, experiences, policies and practice. The training will enhance organisational and individual emotional intelligence, leading to better outcomes for services users and professionals.
