This training is ideal for anyone involved in crisis, emergency, or disaster response—including emergency management staff, regional service providers, healthcare professionals, community mental health workers, evacuation centre staff, faith-based organizations, school and child welfare staff, and all those who support individuals and
communities during challenging times.
Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how trauma and stress impact the brain, body, and behaviour. The session explores the neurological, physiological, cognitive, and emotional effects of trauma, and introduces practical strategies for recognizing trauma responses, providing effective support, and promoting emotional regulation in the aftermath of distressing events.
This training will strengthen your ability to assess trauma responses accurately, make informed decisions under pressure, and apply proven intervention strategies in real-world emergencies.
You’ll develop a practical toolkit for stabilizing situations, supporting distressed individuals, and maintaining effective teamwork in high-stress environments.
We offer a variety of fully-funded 1, 2, and 5-day trauma-specialized trainings focused on building capacity for trauma-informed emergency and crisis response throughout the year. View our upcoming schedule at: https://attchniagara.com/events/
