From Trauma to Resilience: Fostering Hope Through Trauma-Informed Care
As we know, early life experiences are the foundational building blocks for development, learning, and health throughout a person’s lifetime. Trauma can have a long-term effect on well-being and functioning for children, adults, families, and our community.
Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center (Gundersen NCPTC) has developed a new training on adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and trauma-informed care (TIC).
Purpose
The purpose of this training is to increase the community’s collective ability to support individuals who have experienced traumatic events through the provision of supportive trauma-informed strategies and services.
What participants told us they learned:
- TIC is a philosophical shift and not a diagnosis for PTSD
- ACEs are prevalent across all economic levels
- Trauma manifests into different behaviors than expected
- Teachers should teach as if all students have ACE scores
Intended Audience
This training is designed for professionals who work with children and families, including educators and administrators, childcare providers, law enforcement, youth-serving organizations, health and human service providers, faith-based organizations, healthcare and victim advocates.
