Children Experience Trauma

You can make a difference.

Learning trauma-informed care can help children heal and break the cycle of intergenerational trauma.

Complex Trauma is when a child experiences abandonment, neglect, and repeated abuse, starting when they were very young and from the people who were supposed to keep them safe.

Futures

Complex trauma impacts so much that traditional methods of parenting, teaching and interacting often don’t work. However, there are specific interventions and approaches, known as trauma-informed care, that can change a child’s life. Training everyone, everywhere in these new ways is the key to creating a trauma free world.

We want to train everyone, so children everywhere can truly heal from trauma.

Healing is happening.

"I’m in tears. After sitting here for three days, we now know there is another way other than harsh discipline. We now know a new way."

"What did I learn from this training? I didn't know how important it was to play with the children. We think so much about providing food, a bed to sleep in, education. I never knew how critical it was to connect with them, especially with play."

"This training has been absolutely transformational for our organization! Our caregivers have grown in skills and competence and, more importantly, have deepened their commitment to connect with and love our children. The training curriculum is accessible, culturally appropriate for our Honduran context, and our in-person training was wonderfully dynamic and interactive.”

"Our 14-year old used to be suspended from school regularly and was struggling just to get through. He is now advancing so quickly. He's like a completely different kid. Everything about his life is a testimony to God and how trauma-informed care truly transforms!"
