RESPONSIVE CARE & IMPACT AWARENESS TRAINING

“Responsive Care Training” supports that by educating and building awareness, we can build stronger communities, erase stigmas and develop understanding.”

Duration: 2 Days

Cost: $1300 +HST*

Certification Awarded: Responsive Care & Impact Awareness Certificate

This trauma care training will offer support around becoming attuned to what it is like to do informed work and actually show up in your body, not just as someone with an intervention; a strategy; a solution to offer; or a service to provide.

If you do not know how you are impacting others or can't feel how you are impacting others, what's the use of EDI training?

The embodied part of the training is intended for the leaders and staff  to explore "Embodied Feelings + Stories" in order to invite some experiential learning debunking and exploring unconscious roots, in the terms of, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Confronting Racism within Organizational Structures of Organizations, when using our bodies as mirrors (so to speak) in the community, society, etc., as workers, supervisors and people.

Upon the successful completion of this training, each participant will possess the skills and knowledge to support clients and members of the public in trauma-informed, trauma responsive and trauma care practices in the mental health care, health care and judicial care systems Minimizing the impact of unintentional harm to the clients and the people they serve within these organizational structure. Building change, support and growth in support of mental health. Additionally acquiring the knowledge and support to understand the impacts of burnout, secondary trauma and vicarious traumatization as helping-professionals
