The Applied Trauma-Informed Leadership Course:
The course, beginning on July 10th, aims to equip participants with practical tools and strategies to implement trauma-informed care in their organizations and communities. This initiative is a response to the growing recognition that addressing trauma is essential for true transformation and ethical leadership.
Being trauma-informed means understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. Trauma-informed care emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both providers and survivors, and it creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment. This approach is important across various sectors, as it acknowledges the widespread impact of trauma and promotes environments where individuals and communities can heal and thrive.
