Why Training?
TRAINING can change your life and your days
Parenting and caring for kids is always a lot, but when children or teens have been affected by trauma there are often additional challenges, worries, and emotions to manage.
There’s no doubt about it, trauma has a deep and lasting impact on young people. Even when they may not consciously remember the abuse or neglect, trauma changes how they see the world, and how their brains work, and makes it tough to trust and build healthy relationships.
But there is hope and proof that trauma-informed care training helps adults better help these kids. Take some training today and get new skills that help you connect better, understand more, manage big emotions, and get more peace and positivity in your days.
What training is right for me?
Train on your own or with a group to share IDEAS
We have many courses from a short Overview of Trauma-informed care to our deep dive, 18-hour Advanced Course, and Self-Care, which is so important for caregivers. All are great ideas. If you’re not sure where to start, we recommend taking the Intro class with the Companion Guide for Caregivers.
The guide breaks up the two-hour Intro course into a manageable four-week plan with self-reflection questions to help you think through how the principles can apply to the kids you care for. In addition, the guide has some group discussion questions if you want to do the training as a small group, couple or family.
While trauma is a heavy, difficult topic, the training will give you hope and ideas to put into practice immediately. You are doing the most important job and you are not alone. Get some support through our training courses and online communities.
