This training provides educators, caregivers, and family-support professionals with a foundational understanding of how trauma affects children's development, behavior, and learning. Participants will explore the neurological, emotional, and behavioral consequences of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and chronic stress, as well as how trauma can influence developmental milestones, self-regulation, social-emotional skills, and classroom performance.

Community Is Protection is a reflective and action-oriented training that explores how safety, belonging, and accountability are built–or broken–through everyday leadership choices. Grounded in lived experience and healing-centered practice, the session challenges participants to examine the difference between intention and impact while offering concrete actions leaders can take to better protect the communities they serve.
