Trauma has an impact on not only the individuals we serve but also everyone we encounter. Trauma can lead to or increase mental illness, substance misuse, and physical illness. The very services that were designed to help individuals sometimes may be the cause of trauma or re-traumatization. This training provides an understanding of how to create structures and systems that recognize the traumas that exist and that prioritize the wellness of young people and program staff.
