Trauma Informed Care:
The Basics and The Brain
Webinar 4 of the
Developing Trauma-Informed Organizations Series

with Christa Grauert, Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant
and Child & Family Therapist

Day after day, many of us work with children, families, and staff who have experienced trauma, yet we often do not know how to respond to their needs. As a result, more nonprofits and agencies are expanding their work to become “trauma-informed and resilient organizations," which is defined as a program, organization and system that:

• Realizes the widespread impact of trauma & understands the paths for recovery;
• Recognizes the signs & symptoms of trauma in children, families & staff;
• Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures & practices; and,
• Seeks to actively resist re-traumatization.* 

In this training we will unpack each of these concepts and explore what this really means for initiatives, organizations and agencies serving our communities.
