DESCRIPTION

Many organizations have focused on training client-facing staff in Trauma Informed Care but do not reflect on how they engage staff, enact policies, and manage communication to demonstrate Trauma Informed Principles.  If there is a disconnect between how an agency engages its staff and how the staff then engages clients, this reality will likely hamper an organization's effectiveness in offering Trauma Informed Care.  Join us as we discuss what we should be amplifying in support of our Trauma Honoring efforts and minimize to avoid harming those who do intense and important work for our clients.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the training:

Participants will be able to explain at least 3 signs and indicators of a Trauma Informed Organization. 

Participants will be able to relay a t least 4 indicators that an organization is NOT Trauma Informed.

Participants will be able to identify at least 4 opportunities within their organization to enact Trauma Informed Principles with their staff.
