Advanced Skills – Building Trauma-Informed Organizations

*This is not a NAVAA-hosted event.  Please see the registration page for contact details*

A trauma-informed organization is one where all practices and services are viewed through the lens of trauma.

In a trauma-informed organization, programs respond empathically to survivors’ needs, ensure their physical and emotional safety, develop realistic goals, and avoid re-traumatization. The Building Trauma-Informed Organizations training provides guidance on how your organization can become trauma-informed and how to modify policies and procedures to respond to trauma victims.

This training is designed for those responsible for designing and implementing their organization’s programs and policies.

This training will be delivered online, over the course of 5 weeks, beginning on June 16, 2025.

Each week, except for the introductory week, will include a facilitated webinar. There are recommended readings and videos, as well as written assignments. You should expect to spend about an hour per week on the assignments, in addition to participating in the 75-minute webinar. CEUs will be awarded for those who complete all requirements. You will find the training schedule here.

Please review your schedule to make sure you are available to attend either the live or recorded webinars and will be able to make the necessary time commitment to complete the training activities.

This training is part of the NVAA Advanced Skills Institute, and, like all OVC TTAC trainings, participation is free.
