Introduction To Trauma Informed Practice

Course description

This training promotes implementable strategies for use in one-to-one and small group learning settings that are in alignment with Trauma-Informed Care principles. 

Participants will be introduced to the prevalence of trauma, the impact of trauma, and how a more trauma-informed approach will enhance work and outcomes with students and parents.  Participants will develop short-term, specific plans for implementing change in their instructional practice and service delivery.  Participants will gather both their own and their colleagues' expertise and will also be provided with a strategy toolkit based on the book Reaching and Teaching Children Who Hurt, by Susan Craig.
