Trauma Informed Care
Individuals who have been impacted by trauma utilize our systems of care in the hopes of receiving a compassionate and well-informed approach towards healing. This training will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to understand, identify, and respond to individuals who have experienced trauma, including those affected by racialized trauma and systemic discrimination. The impact of racialized trauma on health outcomes is profound, and health issues often stem from negative experiences rooted in childhood, compounded by systemic oppression, exclusion, and microaggressions.
