"AVA recognise how trauma-informed exercise can support VAWG survivors to reclaim their bodies and support their well-being and on-going recovery. In order for survivors to feel safe and confident in exercise classes it's important that the personal trainers understand trauma and it's presentations and are skilled to support and sooth survivors having reactions to physical sensations. This training material will encourage personal trainers to provide trauma informed spaces for survivors and we are glad to see it."
