Trauma-Informed Care: Help for the Helper Workshop (Teachers)
March 10 - April 7
Description:
This session is designed and scheduled for classroom teachers, as their limited schedules make accessing mental health professional learning difficult. To keep these sessions accessible for them, we kindly ask non‑classroom staff to register for our other available training opportunities.
This workshop focuses on the impact of trauma on anyone involved in a helping relationship, including educators, school staff, and caregivers. Participants will explore ways to manage reactions to trauma exposure and engage in a self-assessment of their self-care practices. Specific strategies for managing the effects of trauma exposure will be shared and practiced, and participants will develop individual self-care/wellness strategies they can implement after the training.
