This training is exclusively for SNAP and/or TANF Employment & Training providers in Illinois.
Agencies that have implemented a trauma-informed approach have realized improvements in productivity and organizational outcomes. Trauma-informed care recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual's life-including service staff. Becoming a trauma-informed agency means making a commitment to changing the practices, policies, and culture of an entire organization. On an organizational level, trauma-informed care changes organizational culture to emphasize respecting and appropriately responding to the effects of trauma at all levels.
After attending this training, you will be able to:
Develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be trauma-informed
Understand the foundation of a trauma-informed response
Learn how to collaborate with other providers to adopt a more trauma-informed system-wide approach
