Conducting a trauma-informed care training is a good start, but how can schools/agencies continue the journey of meeting the needs of children with trauma histories, and how do we measure that progress?

What does it mean for schools/agencies to not only create awareness, but continue to grow in all areas of trauma-informed core principles to become fully Trauma-Invested in all areas of practices and processes?

When we create systems and processes that meet the needs of students with impacts of trauma, how can we be assured that our systems meet the needs of ALL students to achieve?

• PRINCIPLES that clearly define what it means for a system or an individual classroom to be trauma-informed
• COMPARISONS of how traditional systems align to trauma-informed principles as compared to trauma-informed systems
• PROCESSES to assess where your classroom, school or agency is currently at on the journey to becoming trauma-informed
• ACTIVITIES to plan actionable steps and strategies to continue down the road to becoming more trauma-informed
• APPLICATION of how to take the information learned and create successful and effective systems, routines and approaches

This workshop-style training is intended for educators - administrators, classroom teachers, school counselors, educational assistants, etc., and those from other human-serving agencies.

Participants will experience a combination of didactic instruction, visuals, and examples, followed by hands-on creation of a plan to take back to their particular setting to implement with students who struggle due to trauma impacts or other causes of chronic challenging behavior.
