Description: In recent years, there has been a strong focus for agencies, organizations and individuals working with children and families to become trauma-informed. However, to truly meet the complex needs of children, families and communities, it’s important to move beyond trauma-informed to becoming trauma-responsive. During this interactive in –person training, the presenter will offer strategies for implementing trauma-responsive and resiliency-building approaches to engagement on a daily basis.

The objectives participants will learn:

• Define the difference between being trauma-informed and trauma-responsive
• Gain skills at implementing at least 3 trauma-responsive strategies in their day to day engagement with children and families
• Gain skills needed to equip others in becoming responsible for their own trauma-responsive healing
