Empowering Resilience: Warren County’s Groundbreaking Trauma-Informed Training

Are you feeling isolated or puzzled by your reactions to certain situations? Do you work with children or teenagers and sometimes find these relationships challenging? Warren County has an answer that might just change the way you approach these challenges.

On January 31, 2024, the Warren County Community Center will host a crucial training session on trauma-informed care. This course, presented by the Warren Coalition and Northwestern Prevention Collaborative, is not just another workshop. It’s a transformative experience designed to equip participants with a deeper understanding of how trauma affects the mind, emotions, and body and the lifelong impact it can have.

The session, running from 9 am to 3:30 pm, introduces the Community Resilience Initiative’s (CRI) framework for building resilience. This isn’t just theory; it’s practical, evidence-based knowledge. Participants will learn how trauma can influence behavior and relationships, especially in those whose trauma history might be unknown. The training will offer skills to diffuse difficult situations and foster awareness of how to avoid re-traumatizing individuals.

Key to this training is its focus on resilience strategies. It’s about empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to not only identify and respond to trauma but also to build resilience in themselves and those they interact with. This is especially pivotal for professionals working with young people, where understanding and patience can make a world of difference.

However, space is limited, and this exclusive training will be in-person only, with no recorded options available. Commitment is key – you must attend the entire training to receive certification. It’s a small investment for a skill that could have a lifelong impact on you and those you work with.

For those interested, registration is required, which can be done at bit.ly/ti-jan31. Further inquiries can be directed to christa@warrencoalition.org. This is more than just a training session; it’s a step towards a more understanding, resilient community.
