WELCOME
Welcome to The Arukah Academy, where we specialise in delivering comprehensive, trauma-informed training programs designed to empower organisations and individuals working with traumatised communities.
Our mission is to equip service providers with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to offer compassionate and effective care through workshops, training sessions, and professional development opportunities.
Mission
The Arukah Academy – From Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Competent
At Arukah Academy, we recognise that simply being trauma-informed isn’t enough. Working with people who have experienced deep harm and adversity calls for more than awareness, it requires a deeper understanding, practical skills, and emotional readiness.
​
Our focus is on supporting individuals and organisations to move towards trauma competence, where knowledge is matched with confidence, compassion, and the ability to respond in ways that are genuinely helpful and healing.
​
We offer training that is built on real-world experience and shaped by the voices of those who’ve lived through trauma. Whether you’re supporting people in the justice system, recovery, education, or care settings, our aim is to walk alongside you as you build environments that feel safe, responsive, and empowering.
​
Because trauma-informed is a good place to start but trauma-competent is where meaningful change begins.
oFFER
At Arukah Academy, our work is founded on the belief that trauma competency is essential across every sector that supports vulnerable individuals. Our approach is both practical and transformative, offering support at three key levels:
-
Trauma Competency for Professionals Across Systems
We deliver accessible, in-depth training to help professionals across justice, education, social care, healthcare, and recovery services move beyond trauma awareness. Through workshops, webinars, and tailored training programs, we support individuals and teams to respond to trauma with clarity, confidence, and compassion, creating safer spaces for healing and change.
-
Qualifications in Innovative Somatic Techniques
Our accredited courses provide qualifications in evidence-informed, body-based techniques such as Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Trauma-Focused EFT. These approaches offer powerful tools for supporting emotional regulation and recovery and can be integrated into a wide range of therapeutic, support, and care settings.
-
CPD for Trauma-Responsive Workforces
We offer Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities that explore what trauma competency looks like within specific fields. These sessions provide space for reflection, skill-building, and sector-specific insight, helping professionals stay current, confident, and equipped to meet the complex needs of those they serve.
