Course Description & Learning Objectives

Course Description: 

This training is geared towards creating an environment that promotes Trauma-Informed supervision. The course helps supervisors create common, shared language and understanding across their organizations.  Clients interacting with various agencies and service providers across our systems deserve to reap the full benefits of the implementation of trauma-informed care; that means within our entire organization, we must be engaged in moving Trauma-Informed approaches forward. 

As a supervisor in these organizations, you are in a unique position to help influence the culture. The staff looks directly to you for guidance and support in many areas; trauma-informed will be another area in which you will have the opportunity to prepare staff to have a positive impact on the population they serve. As a supervisor, this course will offer you tools and practical skills that impact your supervision style on a variety of levels.

Learning Objectives: 

Describe and understand the importance of trauma-informed supervision to your staff 

Explain and demonstrate how to ensure that the work environment is safe for clients and staff alike according to trauma-informed strategies

Demonstrate and understand how you help your staff develop the competencies that a trauma-informed workforce needs

Be able to explain and demonstrate new and creative tools and practical skills that impact your supervision style and support your staff.
