Customer Testimonials
“We now handle the challenging situations much better because we have the basic tools and strategies for it. We approach students with challenging behavior differently than before...As a result of the trauma-informed approach, we have already seen changes in the relationships between employees at our school and the students.”
“This training directly impacts and informs the Trauma-Informed Care trainings we provide at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The process is very friendly, safe, and encourages communication in a judgement-free environment while also allowing those that do not feel comfortable participating.”
“As an administrator, being more aware and in-tune to behaviors and outward/inward signs of folks who have experienced trauma will help me better support my staff and clinicians.”
