Why is a trauma-informed approach essential for your work? It’s about recognizing the diverse traumas individuals may face and ensuring they receive the understanding and support they need. A trauma-informed approach helps prevent re-traumatization and fosters a compassionate community, enhancing how we connect with those we serve. There will be multiple opportunities for Extension professionals to receive training on this approach in November. If you received prior trauma informed approach training, plan to attend one of the sessions to receive updated materials. And if you’d like to add trauma informed approach training to your professional skillset, new participants are also welcome. More information is available here.
