SUMMARY:TIC Advanced-Módulos Avanzados de Atención Informada sobre el Trauma *Elegible para el Premio FSKA
DESCRIPTION:“Para obtener un premio de atención informada sobre traumas por completar esta formación\, debe tener una función laboral elegible confirmada o verificada y estar empleado por un proveedor de subsidios. Los premios dependen de la financiación disponible.” \nNuestra comprensión del trauma continúa evolucionando. Integrando la investigación actual sobre el desarrollo del cerebro\, el desarrollo humano\, el trabajo social y la salud física y mental\, y reconociendo que vivimos en una sociedad patriarcal y racista\, incluso nuestra definición de trauma continúa evolucionando. En pocas palabras\, podríamos definir el trauma como una amenaza abrumadora (real o percibida) que no sabemos cómo enfrentar. Como dice el Dr. Gabor Maté en la película de 2021 La sabiduría del trauma\, “El trauma no son las cosas malas que te suceden\, sino lo que sucede dentro de ti como resultado de lo que te sucede”. Un enfoque informado sobre el trauma implica darse cuenta de la amplia prevalencia del trauma; reconocer cómo el trauma afecta a las personas\, las familias\, las generaciones y las comunidades; y responder poniendo en práctica este conocimiento. Informarnos sobre el trauma y sus efectos requiere estudio y autorreflexión. Puede ser un proceso desafiante y doloroso. También puede ser inspirador y liberador. Con el tiempo\, desarrollar una perspectiva informada sobre el trauma puede cambiar la forma en que pensamos sobre nosotros mismos y nuestras vidas y ayudarnos a sentir una mayor compasión por nosotros mismos y los demás. Los módulos de atención informada sobre trauma preparan a los participantes para adoptar una perspectiva informada sobre trauma en sus propias vidas y en su trabajo con niños y familias \nLos participantes deben asistir a todas las sesiones para recibir todos los créditos. \nTrainer: Maria Salazar \nTraining Dates: April 7\, April 21\, May 5\, May 19\, June 2\, June 16\, 2025 \nTraining Time: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. \nSTARS: 27 hours \nRegistration opens Monday March 17\, 2025. \n@public \n

SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Care Modules Advanced - *May be eligible for a FSKA Trauma Informed Care Award*
DESCRIPTION:*To earn a trauma-informed care award for completing this training\, you must have an eligible job role confirmed or verified and be employed by a subsidy provider. Awards are based on available funding. Priority enrollment to Northwest Region.* \nParticipants are responsible for several hours of reading\, watching video\, and self-reflecting during independent time. Some may take more or less time to complete this independent work. Access to reliable internet\, or the ability to print the course content\, is required.  \nOur understanding of trauma continues to evolve. Integrating current research on brain development\, human development\, social work\, and physical and mental health\, and acknowledging that we live in a patriarchal and racist society\, even our definition of trauma continues to evolve. Put simply\, we might define trauma as an overwhelming threat (actual or perceived) that we don’t know how to deal with. As Dr. Gabor Maté says in the 2021 film The Wisdom of Trauma\, “Trauma is not the bad things that happen to you\, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.” \nA trauma informed approach involves realizing the wide prevalence of trauma; recognizing how trauma affects individuals\, families\, generations\, and communities; and responding by putting this knowledge into practice. Informing ourselves about trauma and its effects requires study and self-reflection. It can be a challenging and painful process. It can also be inspirational and liberating. Over time\, developing a trauma informed perspective can change the way we think about ourselves and our lives and help us feel greater compassion for ourselves and others. The Trauma Informed Care modules prepare participants to adopt a trauma informed perspective in their own lives and in their work with children and families. \nThis training discusses how to work with children and caregivers who have been through difficult life experiences. Such conversations can remind us of things that have been painful or upsetting in our own lives. If you feel like now is not a good time to take this training\, it’s okay to take the training at another time. And\, if you do feel upset while taking the training\, please step away as needed to take care of yourself. It’s important to remember\, too\, that healing from trauma happens in relationships\, so you are also encouraged to reach out to a friend or a colleague for support. \nPrerequisites for this training are EQEL Year 1 or equivalent. This training is required as a prerequisite to the Trauma Informed Train-the-Trainer workshop. \nTrainers: Charlotte Zissel & Julie Wasilewski \nTraining Dates: 04/10\, 4/17\, 4/24\, 5/1\, 5/8\, 5/15  \nTraining Time: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. \nSTARS: 27 hours  \nCore Competencies: Child Growth & Development Level 4/5 Families & Community Partnerships Level 4/5 Professional Development & Leadership Level 4/5 \nRegistration opens Monday March 17\, 2025. \n@public

SUMMARY:WAPM Implementing Inclusive + Equitable Pyramid Model Practices: 1 + 2 (Pre-K) *FSKA Award Eligible*
DESCRIPTION:Positive relationships are the foundation of everything we do in early childhood. They are essential for thriving teaching teams and effective partnerships with families.
