Trauma Informed Care: Building a Safe Place

Physical safety is not the same as psychological safety. For a child with a history of trauma, trust and comfort in the home can take time to build and requires more than just locked doors. This training will help caregivers and professionals understand the difference, and learn some practical suggestions on how to help youth feel a sense of control and safety in their environment. Training material developed by National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN).
