Trauma Informed Care: Supporting Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

Understanding the impact of trauma on development, identity and behaviours is imperative when providing support. This training will explore the neurobiology of trauma and its impact on those with a developmental disability and/or mental health problems. It will offer a reframing of behaviours through a trauma-informed lens. Participants will walk away with a toolbox filled with strategies to best support individuals using evidenced-based strategies. This training will use a variety of modalities to meet the diverse needs of learners such as audio/media, interactive activities, and times for reflection.
