1. Understand what “person-centered and trauma-informed care” means and why it’s critical in improving service delivery.
2. Understand the impact that re-traumatizing events can have on the individual.
3. Appreciate the bio-psycho-social components of trauma-informed care to support survivors in rebuilding a sense of control and empowerment

The psychological effects of long-term isolation on individuals and families are largely unknown at this time as our nation remains in the grips of a global pandemic. However, when armed with education and resources, communities and people are empowered toward collective resilience. This training will emphasize the importance of understanding the prevalence of trauma and the effects that trauma can have on an individual’s mental health, physical, social, and spiritual well-being.
