This online training is designed to provide an introduction to understanding how early childhood trauma may impact young children's relationships, behaviors, emotions, and thinking processes. In each module, participants will join four early childhood professionals as they learn and apply trauma informed skills to build strong relationships with young children and promote their readiness to learn. Participants will be able to apply these same trauma informed skills in their own work with young children. This is an interactive, online course with an estimated time to complete between 90 - 120 minutes.
