UPLIFT: Foundations of Trauma-Informed Care   
This foundational module is intended to build awareness and support staff at any level in recognizing trauma and responding to individuals who have been exposed to adverse experiences and/or trauma. It is expected that participants will develop competency around defining and discussing trauma and common trauma symptoms, as well as implications that trauma and toxic stress can have on behaviors presented at home, in school, or in the community. The module incorporates neurodevelopmental information to increase awareness of the potential repercussions of trauma and toxic stress on brain development, and resultant implications for learning, academic achievement or engagement, and social success. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of a trauma-informed care framework (e.g., the 4 Rs and 6 principles of trauma-informed organizations), and how these intersect with existing school initiatives (e.g., school climate, PBIS, SEL, DEI, restorative practices, etc.). This module is designed to offer all school-based personnel a basic understanding of trauma and trauma-informed care practices at all tiers, from universal practices to individualized supports. Training activities may include individual reflection, case scenarios, polls, group discussion and Q & A.
