Training Descriptions:
Trauma 105: An Introduction to Trauma for Parents & Caregivers
Parents and Caregivers can play an important role in helping children recover from traumatic events. This workshop is designed to provide parents and caregivers with introductory information about the impact of trauma and the power of relationships to help children heal. The more parents and caregivers understand how trauma effects children, the more they will understand the reasons for kids’ behaviors and emotions, and the more they will be able to help them cope. - February 2, 2022, from 6 to 8 pm
Trauma 106: An Introduction to Trauma for Youth
Creating safe and supportive environments for youth involves educating youth on why people behave the way they do. Incorporating basic information about the impact of trauma and identifying some basics of brain structure provide the foundation for youth to better understand themselves and those around them. A highly engaging and interactive strengths-based activity assists youth in identifying their present self and encourages them to set healthy emotional and relational goals for their future self. - February 8, 2022, from 4 to 6 pm
Trauma 107: Trauma-Informed Cultural Sensitivity (Four (4) Hour Training)
Enhancing cultural competence and encouraging cultural humility are essential to increasing access and improving the standard of care for traumatized children, families, and communities. Cultural awareness, responsiveness, and understanding need to be infused at every level to be effective in addressing the needs of those who have experienced trauma. With both presentation and group interaction, participants will identify forces that contribute to behaviors that build or decrease emotional health in individuals and systems. - February 14, 2022, from 1 to 5 pm
