Description:

What does it mean to provide trauma-informed services? To truly practice care in a way that is sensitive to the experience of trauma, all members of an organization must understand and be sensitive to its impact. We all have an important role to play in making sure that all interactions with individuals in care are supportive, affirming, and avoid retraumatizing those who are especially vulnerable. This course was designed to help participants gain an understanding of trauma, its impact, and the fundamental components of a trauma-informed approach. Through interactive instructional activities, participants will develop practical tools for communicating effectively and learn how to implement trauma-informed practices into their organization.
