Resilience Empowerment Project for Educators
Through a lens of empathy and science, this training explores how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress impact brain development, learning, and behavior.
The Science of Trauma: Understand the neurobiological effects of trauma on the brain and body and how they manifest as maladaptive behaviors in the classroom.
Resilience & Prevention: Learn to build "protective and promotive" factors that serve as primary prevention against future adversity.
Trauma-Informed Care (TIC): Develop a toolkit of skills and resources to support students and colleagues who have experienced significant adversity.
Safe Environments: Discover how to design systems that ensure physical and emotional safety while actively minimizing the risk of re-traumatization.
The Recursive Journey: Embrace the reality that becoming trauma-informed is an ongoing process of growth, not a one-time destination.
