Everyone Can Be Trauma-Informed in Early Childhood Setting (Farmington)

The need to build resilience in this country is enormous! The impact of historical and current trauma taxes the daily lives of significant portions of our community, especially children, people of color, and those living in poverty. The impact on community service professionals is just as challenging, often creating high turnover, staff shortage, and burnout.

In response, the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families, Department, Behavioral Health Services is sponsoring various training opportunities as part of our statewide initiative to implement and practice inclusive, equitable, resilience-based, trauma-responsive services for everyone.

COURSE: Everyone Can Be Trauma-Informed in Early Childhood Settings (Ages 3-8):

(2-Days)

This training provides a foundation for optimizing resilience and engaging children and families in compassionate, trauma-informed, equitable, and inclusive service delivery. It does this by promoting knowledge, understanding, and practice of easy, user-friendly ways to best support staff and everyone being served through neuroscience-based services. Content includes activities that enhance health and well-being for everyone, and leading-edge research promoting:

• Program engagement, responsivity, and adherence while reducing and alleviating distress, and diminishing barriers to meaningful participation

• Learning, memory retention, decision-making, and effective behavioral change

• Effective strategies for implementation

By the end of this training participants will be able to:

• Understand the vital roles engagement, compassion, equity, and inclusion play in effective service delivery

• Identify a clearly defined and structured resilience-based, trauma-informed approach for effective intervention

• Facilitate user-friendly neuroscience-based activities that promote health and well-being
