Dec/Jan 2012Vol. 12, No. 9Trauma-Informed Practice in the Training Environment
Multiplying Connections created "Walking the Walk: Modeling Trauma Informed Practice in the Training Environment," a two-page resource guide to help train staff who work with children and families affected by trauma. The guide provides specific principles of trauma-informed practice and explains how each is essential for professional development. The principles of practice are:
- Creating safety
- Maximizing opportunities for choice and control
- Fostering connections
- Managing emotions and promoting self-reflection
The guide also provides suggestions for integrating each principle into customized training modules.
The resource can be found on Multiplying Connections' website:
