Workshop for Educators and Service Providers

Workshop for Educators and Service Providers

Youth who have experienced life in-care are the best at explaining how to work with other youth in care.

These workshops will educate professionals in a variety of service sectors using the perspectives of trauma-impacted youth to amplify the urgency to implement trauma-informed best practices in their work. This will better assist those working with youth in our community.

Our youth will be fully recognized and certified to deliver trauma-informed workshops that are adapted to audience need. Our youth can also speak at your events and help you understand youth in care experience in a new way.
