Resilience Training:Trauma-Informed Teams
Length: 8 hours
Delivery: Live in-person or live virtual
Available asynchronously in January 2024
This eight-hour course provides a comprehensive overview of foundational Trauma-Informed Care principles and practices, which support a safe and brave workplace, ultimately improving outcomes for individuals and communities.
In the course, we explore different types of traumas and the science behind how trauma experience impacts our brain, body, and behavior. We highlight how many current practices of workplaces unintentionally re-traumatize individuals they are meant to help – especially those pushed to the margins of our society – and create vicarious trauma for the staff who work tirelessly to support them. We provide ample time and space for discussions around how trauma-informed principles can be practiced in your workplace/community to overcome the impact of experiencing trauma and promote healing and recovery.
The course can be delivered at once or broken up into intervals.
