This training is specifically designed for administrators and leaders working in early childhood education and offers comprehensive resources for creating trauma-responsive organizations and systems. Throughout this training, you’ll find:

·     Exercises and tools for identifying the strengths and areas in need of change within your program, school or agency.

·     Reflection questions and sample conversations.

·     Rich vignettes from programs already striving to create healthier, trauma-responsive environments.

Healing oriented programs move past being trauma-informed and focus on becoming healing environments. What are the characteristics of a healing environment? A healing environment is a space where adults work collaboratively together and honesty and authenticity are valued; this means that people can be honest and share narratives about their lived experiences and identities and know that they will not be shamed or punished for doing so.

This training is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes in video and an additional 2-4 hours of reflective group activities. It is designed to take together with leadership teams.
