The full curriculum, designed to support children with trauma histories, has four modules. These modules cover: 1) trauma’s impact; 2) strategies to address trauma; 3) coping with difficult behavior; and 4) generating signals of safety.
This guide walks a facilitator — slide by slide — through the module’s content, which introduces participants to trauma’s impact on both children and caregivers. Participants will learn about assessing a child and working with their child’s team to develop interventions that prevent survival-in-the-moment episodes.
