Training Description
Treatment programs understand the high prevalence of trauma among the clients they serve. Through training and service changes programs implement brain based trauma informed care, becoming more collaborative, more strength and relationship based, and interpreting behaviors as adaptive. However, after an initial change effort, agencies may experience their staff slipping back into punitive thinking. How do we continue trauma informed practice in a punitive world.
