SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Care at Home
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Anni Reinking \nEducators are often provided training or coursework focused on trauma-informed practices in classrooms. However\, as children are home more\, during a collective societal trauma\, it is also important that trauma-informed care is embedded into home settings. So\, how do families embed trauma-informed care into home environments? Or\, how do educators help families understand the importance of trauma-informed care? Both of these questions will be addressed in this training. \nThis training is intended for family members of young children and does not provide continuing education credit. If you are an early childhood professional\, please share with families. \nRegister at: \nTrauma-Informed Care: At Home and At School  (webinar) \n \n  \nMore information and registration at http://starnet.org/home/training/online-webinars/.
