Trauma Responsive Practice Checklist for Practitioners & Organisers [version 3, 2026]
This checklist aims to generate reflective prompts to help reduce the risk of participants, particularly in group situations, having negative experiences while doing practices that are presented as being trauma responsive. If practitioners or event organisers can reflect on a planned practice before delivery, potential causes of negative experiences can be addressed beforehand to the benefit of all.

Person Centred Mindfulness and Trauma: An Introduction to Mindful Resilience Enhancement Training – Open evening – Recording and Powerpoint Available Below
We expect that a new series of Wednesday evening online trainings for Mindful Resilience Enhancement (MRE) will start in 2027. Check back here for updates.
The core of MRE training is about how mindfulness approaches can be adapted to the needs of the individual and so it is a person centred approach to integrating mindfulness into your work. There is growing evidence that people who have experienced trauma need a person centred mindfulness approach adapted to their specific needs otherwise they are at risk of their trauma being worsened by poorly adapted mindfulness practices. Like any other approach, mindfulness approaches can cause harm.
The recording below is of a session that overviewed the MRE training and explored why a person centred approach to teaching mindfulness is so important for effective mindfulness teaching in general and when working in the context of client’s with a history of trauma in particular. So many people can have a history of trauma in all kinds of different contexts including less clinically focused contexts such as work-based, educational and wellbeing contexts. It therefore makes sense to approach all mindfulness teaching, whatever the context, so that it it is as safe as it can be for everyone whether or not an individual has a trauma history. This is a more inclusive and a safer way of working.
During this evening session there were also details shared about what MRE teacher training involves.

This MRE teacher training is offered via The Christie Institute for Cancer Education: see their courses here https://www.christie.nhs.uk/christie-institute-for-cancer-education and booking links for the next set of MRE training courses will be posted here. You can register your interest in the training here: the-christie.cice@nhs.net
MRE Teacher Training Part 1 experientially explores trauma-responsive mindfulness practices and around this experiential practice a theoretical framework is developed to help identify how mindfulness practices can be most safely offered in the context of trauma.
MRE Teacher Training Part 2 then develops the theoretical framework of Part 1 and applies this to the specifics of offering mindfulness practices suited to your clients’ needs. This includes skills practice to develop your own way of guiding mindfulness practices again appropriate to your clients’ needs.
Starting Points – Helpful Ways of Introducing Mindfulness (Free Event)
Thursday 21 May 2026 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Share Your Experiences and Ideas About Ways to Introduce Mindfulness
While there can never be a perfect way to introduce mindfulness to everyone, there are perhaps ways that risk putting someone off from anything labelled as ‘mindfulness’.
Often with the best of intentions, an experience of mindfulness can be offered that leads someone to believe mindfulness is not for them – and this is such a shame.
How can mindfulness be introduced so people feel empowered to make choices about what is best for them? And how can the risk of shaming or dysregulating experiences be minimised?
This sessions shares a framework to help inform the setup of sessions to increase accessibility and reduce the risk of dysregulation and practical examples of ways of offering mindfulness. This framework emerges from a person-centred and trauma-responsive way of offering teaching mindfulness.
