Centering Collective Trauma Care and Healing (Non-CEU)

Course Description

This training will explore ways to center collective care, healing, and wellbeing to address the manifestation of trauma, trauma reactions, and trauma integration within the lives of child, adolescent, and youth client systems.

Participants will be grounded in the principles of a Trauma Informed Care approach in working with potentially traumatized and hurting client systems. Taking a universal precautions approach, participants will explore concrete ways they can engage in centering collective care and healing to set the stage for culturally responsive trauma interventions.

Diving into the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study and considering the embodiment of trauma, training participants will explore innovative approaches to treating trauma, with a focus on family and culturally bound healing interventions.  

This course was developed in May 2023.

• Describe what a culturally sensitive and informed behavioral health care approach for trauma interventions can look like with pediatric and transitional aged client systems in their field/work settings
• Articulate three strategies you can personally apply to be more effective in the provision of trauma-informed care
