Empowering Students in the Classroom and Beyond
Along with our programs, we provide trauma-based training that helps educators provide support that impacts students’ academic and personal lives.
A Proven-Training Method
Our training is rooted in Building Communities of Care (BCC), a trauma-informed approach for educators and specialists that can be applied to students of all ages.
BCC was developed by mental health, education, trauma treatment, and residential and community-based care experts. Depending on the training topic, it can be completed in 16 to 24 hours, with or without physical intervention content.
BCC helps educators…
- Improve classroom management
- Increase student engagement
- Create more supportive environments
- Developing educational policies that promote trauma-informed practices
- And more!
