Helping Children Learn Training

Complex trauma and adverse childhood experiences are affecting
our children and have a direct correlation to involvement in crime,
drug and alcohol abuse, and abusive relationships. This training will
help educate our community on the issue, as well as start laying the
foundation for a proactive response. It has an immediate relevance to early
learning, K-12, juvenile justice, health care, child protection, substance
abuse, communities, and citizens concerned about protecting children.
Free training for: Educators, School Administrators, School Counselors,
Early Childhood Providers, Juvenile Court Professionals, Mental Health
Professionals, Judges, Public Health Professionals, Chemical Dependency
Professionals, Parents, Guardians, Foster Parents, Community Organizers,
Child Welfare Providers, Healthcare Professionals, Law Enforcement,
Domestic Violence Service Providers, Advocates, Faith Community, Political
Leaders, Philanthropic Community, and Corporate Business Leaders.
What is complex trauma? Exposure to an environment marked
by multiple and chronic stressors, most often within a caregiving system
that is intended to be the child’s primary source of safety and stability.
