Workshops have moved online! Access to information will be sent via email and text.

This free three-week training series helps early educators explore how trauma, including intergenerational and historical trauma, affects both the children they serve and their own experiences. Participants will reflect on identity, deepen their understanding of trauma, and learn strategies for self-care.

Each 2.5-hour online session includes an optional 30-minute coaching opportunity at the end.

Participants are encouraged to attend all 3 sessions and may earn up to 8 professional growth hours.
