This two-part video series equips teachers with tools to manage their reactions to trauma. It also offers approaches program leaders can use to build organizational capacity around serving children and families impacted by traumatic events. These webinars were originally aired as part of the OHS’s Safe Foundations, Healthy Futures campaign.

Part 1 helps staff to understand the impact of trauma on children’s behavior, their social and emotional well-being, and the health and wellness of adults in the child’s life.

Part 2 discusses how Head Start and Early Head Start program staff must take adult wellness into consideration so staff are better able to create a trauma-informed organization. Implementing strategies such as mindfulness, training on the impact of trauma, and mental health consultation can help programs create a safe and nurturing environment for children and adults.
