Research shows that childhood trauma is prevalent and has a profound impact on the body’s stress response, physical health, brain development, behaviors, learning, and social-emotional well-being. The impact of childhood trauma may last into adulthood if left untreated, at great expense to society. The professional development will focus on the basics of trauma, scientific research, the pervasiveness of trauma, how traumatic experiences impact youth within diverse settings, and how individuals and organizations can effectively support youth in becoming resilient. The outcomes of TIC implementation will be discussed (i.e., benefits if everyone in the organization uses a TIC lens to interact with youth, staff, and families). A traditional paradigm will be compared to a trauma-informed care paradigm. The rationale and procedures Findlay City Schools used to implement Trauma-Informed Care district-wide will be briefly reviewed. This training will be interactive and is a blend of traditional and experiential learning.
Participants will learn the following concepts:
1. Relevant research, and the prevalence and forms of trauma.
2. The impact of trauma on the body’s stress response, physical health, brain
development, behaviors, learning, and social-emotional well-being.
3. The connection between the brain and the stress response system.
4. TIC and mindfulness applicable strategies.
5. Benefits if individuals and organizations use a TIC lens and mindfulness strategies.
6. How individuals and organizations can effectively support youth in becoming resilient.
7. A framework for creating and maintaining a TIC Culture.
8. Potential changes to policies and practices.
9. Application of concepts using real-world stories.
Participants will learn about innovative and proven content
Since August of 2014, Findlay City Schools (FCS) certified and classified employees have participated in an annual TIC professional development. Including the classified staff in TIC trainings has been instrumental in improving student-adult relationships, as well as improving classified staff morale. Following the professional development, over 500 employees completed a survey to measure self-reported improvements in TIC knowledge and behaviors toward traumatized students. Data indicated significant gains in TIC knowledge, behaviors toward traumatized youth, empathy, understanding youth perspectives, creating safe environments, and providing youth with choices.
The content is based on relevant and current research, stories, and interactive activities using multi-sensory learning modalities. Using concepts of transformational learning, participants may experience a change in their points of view, beliefs, or habits of the mind.
