Description

As the rate of trauma in kids and adolescents skyrockets, you might be the only safe person in a kid's life.

School-based professionals like you are pivotal in recognizing suicidality, depression, anxiety, PTSD, abuse, and other, sometimes life-threatening, problems.

Here's something you may not know, being a trauma-informed professional is so important, that a federal law was adopted in 2022 stating that funds can be used to support evidence-based trauma practices in schools.

This specialized course is taught by a panel of expert educators and clinicians with decades of experience in the classroom and clinical office. They'll equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to help intervene immediately, prevent problems from worsening, and foster resilience. You'll learn trauma-informed care techniques for the classroom and be able to implement evidence-based strategies for supporting kids with diverse mental health problems.

- Identify early signs of depression and suicidality and respond to self-harm effectively

Plus, you'll learn how to create effective support groups and foster an atmosphere of psychological safety for everyone!
