Be Their Hero: Trauma-Informed Care for Children

Two out of every three children in the United States experience a traumatic event that can deeply affect their emotional well-being, behavior, and development. For the adults in their lives—parents, caregivers, mentors, and educators—understanding trauma is key to helping children feel safe, supported, and resilient.

This powerful and practical training provides the knowledge and tools needed to support children who have experienced trauma. Participants will learn how trauma affects the brain and body, how to recognize the signs in children, and how to create safe, nurturing environments where healing and growth can happen.
