Virtual Training: Trauma Informed Supports

Trauma-informed supports are not just for the people we support but for everyone. Join Dr. Karyn Harvey and Tanya Fritz, CSW as we explore small and large traumas in our lives and how they affect us. We will look not only at these effects but, most importantly, at the key to healing in our day-to-day lives. In this interactive three hour training,  attendees will learn practical applications in terms of direct support and be able to understand trauma-informed and trauma responsive support.
