Who is this for?
This course is exclusively for military, police, medical, firefighting and security staff.
This training is to further help facilitate a radical change in the way that those who wear uniform are supported with their mental health and well being. To shine a beacon on this wonderfully empowering modality which should be used far more widely in trauma support.
It will provide the training that you need to become a Certified Practitioner in Havening and focus on swiftly helping those with deeply traumatic experiences and how such affected individuals can reclaim their lives, build resilience and thrive. Mark will ensure you are closely supported to achieve Certification well within the year.
Who is running the course?
Mark Wingfield was one of the early adopters of Havening in 2014 and prior to discovering Havening had since 2006 been working with traumatised individuals in prisons and frontline security operations.
With his grandfather a pilot in the RFC and his father having served in the RAF Mark was a keen air cadet planning to join the air force as a Navigator. His career went a different path and it wasn't until 2008 that he was back on an RAF site since his teenage years - training civilian and uniformed staff in stress management at RAF High Wycombe Strike Command in 2008.
He became a committee member of the Veterans Group within Havening in 2015 and a therapist for Save Our Soldier and has since worked with a wide variety of veterans across the navy, army and air force. He has also worked with police, medical staff and firefighters.
His business is signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant and has trained various ex military, nursing and military-linked Practitioners.
This training will also be highly relevant to those supporting the families of those affected by trauma, for example the children who are asked at school "was that your Mum/Dad that died in that attack last night that I saw on the news".
Or to support the partners watching from their home at the barracks a black car that today thank goodness drove past their door to break the awful news of an injury/fatality to a fellow military partner.
He will be joined by experienced Practitioners who he has trained who are in tune with these environments including vast personal experience of their own.
It is a modular course structured as follows to make it accessible to a wide European/Atlantic catchment area, encompassing much of the NATO area. Kansas time because of Diana Rinqquist a colleague supporting this event based in Kansas, Michigan (another support Jill Haas is based here) is an hour ahead of Kansas , London is 6 hours ahead, Berlin is 7 hours ahead.
