Trauma-Informed
Care: Foundations to Supports
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:
Relevant
research, and the prevalence and forms of trauma.
The impact of trauma on the body’s stress response, physical health, brain development, behaviors, learning, and social-emotional well-being.
The connection between the brain and the stress
response system.
TIC
and mindfulness applicable strategies.
Benefits
if individuals and organizations use a TIC lens and mindfulness strategies.
How individuals and organizations can
effectively support youth in becoming resilient.
A framework for creating and maintaining a TIC
Culture.
Potential
changes to policies and practices.
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.
