Description
People who have experienced homelessness have often endured multiple severe traumas. In fact, homelessness itself is traumatic. So homeless response organizations must take a trauma-informed approach. Trauma-informed care can help clients stabilize in housing more quickly and can build resilience for both clients and staff. This course explores the six principles of trauma-informed care and how to implement them. It’s designed for anyone who works or would like to work in homeless response.
Anyone enrolled in any Center for Learning course is invited to a live online office hour every month. Some office hours are opportunities to ask questions about material in our courses; others focus on emerging issues or specific populations.
