Course 1: Trauma-Informed

Choose your start date and take the course at your own pace.

This self-paced, six-part training course introduces you to Community Resilience Initiative’s framework for building resilience, KISS: Knowledge, Insight, Strategies, and Structures. KISS describes our learning from theory to practice and how to implement strategies into action. 

This course includes three groups of topics: the NEAR sciences, a cluster of emerging scientific findings in the fields of Neuroscience, Epigenetics, ACE Studies, and Resilience; Beneath Behavior, which uses the knowledge of brain networks to gain insight into the factors that drive behavior; and R.O.L.E.S., CRI’s signature strategy to responding to trauma. 

The key objective is to provide information about identifying and responding to trauma with evidence-based resilience strategies when working with an audience whose trauma history may not be known.
