Course Description:

Trauma Informed Practice is a two-day course that defines trauma and its impact on the children, adults and families who are involved in child welfare systems. A significant majority of children and adults who become involved in our child welfare systems have been affected by trauma. Trauma can have a lasting impact on the well-being and functioning of children, adults and their families. For child welfare professionals, the ability to understand the effects of trauma on children, adults and families whom they serve, and to identify and address the specific trauma related needs of those children, adults and families is critical to effective case planning and providing services to improve their lives.
