The word “trauma” is a buzzword we hear a lot but what does it actually mean?  In this course, you will learn many aspects of trauma, the ways in which they show up, and how to use the tools of trauma-informed practice. With a mix of information, discussion, and case studies, learn how all of us can be more trauma-informed, and how that can contribute to a culture of safety, empowerment, and healing.
