Register Online Now!Trauma-informed care is an organizational framework that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of trauma. Join the Office of Head Start (OHS) in a conversation about trauma-informed care and its alignment with the pyramid model. Find out what trauma-informed care means for early childhood programs. Trauma-informed care includes a shift in thinking from "What is wrong with you?" to asking "What happened to you?" Its development requires change at multiple levels of an organization and systematic alignment with the principles of a trauma-informed approach. How a program understands and responds to the adverse effects of trauma has significant implications for the well-being of children, families, and staff in the program. Join us for a live webinar to learn more about trauma and trauma-informed care and what it means for building parent and family resilience. Examples will be drawn from American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. Dr. Sangeeta Parikshak, social science analyst at OHS, will be joined by Marilyn Bruguier-Zimmerman, senior director of policy and programs at the National Native Children's Trauma Center, and Dr. Joshua Sparrow from the National Center on Parent, Family, and Community Engagement. They will respond to your most pressing questions. #HeadStartHeals CampaignFind more trauma resources and strategies through OHS's #HeadStartHeals campaign.
