Trauma-Informed Care Training

Learn to be trauma informed

Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) training provides individuals and organizations with the knowledge and tools to recognize the widespread impact of trauma and respond in ways that promote healing and resilience. This approach emphasizes safety, trust, empowerment, and collaboration, ensuring that care is delivered with an understanding of the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of trauma. By shifting the focus from "What’s wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?", trauma-informed care creates more compassionate, supportive environments for individuals who have experienced adversity.

Our Training Programs

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Training

    Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur during childhood, such as abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction like parental substance use, mental illness, or incarceration. These experiences can have lasting effects on a child's developing brain and body, increasing the risk for physical and mental health problems later in life. Research shows that the more ACEs a person experiences, the greater the likelihood of long-term health challenges, making early recognition and intervention essential for promoting lifelong well-being.

  • Trauma-Informed Care Presentations

    Educating organizations through trauma-informed care presentations is a powerful way to foster healthier, more supportive environments for both staff and those they serve. Our presentations help teams understand the impact of trauma on behavior, relationships, and overall well-being, while providing practical strategies to create safe, empathetic, and empowering spaces. By building awareness and promoting a shared language around trauma, organizations can strengthen their culture, improve outcomes, and reduce further trauma.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Training

Oklahoma is facing a silent crisis. Our state has some of the highest rates of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the nation—events like abuse, neglect, family incarceration, and substance use in the home that deeply affect a person’s development, behavior, and health.

But ACEs don’t just affect children—they ripple forward across a lifetime, shaping how people learn, parent, work, form relationships, and access services. Whether you're working with children in classrooms or adults in crisis, understanding ACEs is essential for providing compassionate, effective, and informed support.

Understanding ACEs is a dynamic, research-informed training designed for professionals in education, social services, and nonprofit sectors. The goal of this training is to help you better understand the behaviors and needs of the people you serve, and to equip your team with tools to respond in ways that foster healing, connection, and long-term success.

You’ll learn

  • The origins and findings of the ACEs study, plus current local and national data

  • How trauma—including racial, historical, and intergenerational trauma—affects the brain, behavior, and long-term health

  • Why understanding trauma is critical when working with both children and adults

This training is for any youth-serving or adult-serving organization, including:

  • Teachers, school counselors, and administrators

  • Youth program leaders and mentors

  • Homeless service organizations

  • Community and faith-based nonprofits

  • Healthcare providers

  • Workforce development

  • Reentry programs

No previous knowledge of ACEs is needed - just a desire to understand your clients more deeply and to help them thrive.

Trauma-Informed Care Presentations

Have you ever wondered why certain situations push your buttons—or why it can feel difficult to trust, connect, or stay calm under pressure?

Our early life experiences—especially the challenging ones—don’t stay in the past. They shape how we see ourselves, how we respond to stress, how we build relationships, and even how we care for our physical health. But the good news is: understanding these patterns is the first step to creating meaningful change.

Key Topics Include:

  • How early experiences shape brain development and stress responses

  • Common patterns of behavior that stem from overwhelming or unsafe experiences

  • Simple, practical strategies to manage reactions, build resilience, and foster healthier connections

  • Hopeful messages about growth, self-awareness, and the power of personal change

This presentation is grounded in the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) but delivered in a way that is relatable, respectful, and empowering. No clinical terms, no diagnoses—just real talk about real life.

This session is ideal for:

  • Community events or town halls

  • Faith-based gatherings or wellness series

  • School parent nights or family engagement sessions

  • Workplace wellness programs

  • Reentry or transitional living programs

  • Anyone curious about personal growth and healing

Whether you're supporting others or simply exploring your own story, this talk offers a powerful reminder: what happened to us matters—but it doesn’t have to define us.
