Just like in a game of tic-tac-toe, every move in trauma-informed care (TIC) matters. But in this training, the focus is less on winning and more on understanding how seemingly small actions, words, and patterns create meaningful connections. We’ll explore how to “play” carefully, knowing that the right moves can foster trust and healing, while hasty choices might stir up unexpected challenges. Let’s dive into the thoughtful art of trauma-informed care — because it’s all about intentional moves, not quick fixes! Moving beyond awareness and ensuring our interactions are leading with this information in the forefront of our minds involves adopting a trauma-informed approach that transforms our practices, policies, and procedures to better support those affected by trauma. Training participants will review trauma basics, as well as learn to approach client care with a deeper understanding of the complex impact trauma can have on behavior, emotions, and overall well-being. This session will also provide opportunities for self-reflection, allowing helping professionals to assess their own practices and make necessary adjustments to support the needs of those they serve.

Tools for Change Talk (Motivational Interviewing)
Motivational Interviewing is a semi-directive, client-centered counseling style that has been used in a variety of settings over many years. As an evidence-based practice, Motivational Interviewing is also a key part of Housing First approaches. While the basic practice of Motivational Interviewing can be understood quickly, the skills and techniques can take years to master. This deeper dive into the skills and strategies of Motivational Interviewing will ask participants to practice task-specific skills using familiar client scenarios.

Reintegrating the Self: Managing Vicarious Trauma
On a long enough timeline, workers in complex care settings will experience the challenges of burnout; vicarious trauma is an occupational hazard of supporting those most in need of housing and behavioral health supports. Just as important as understanding the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, is the necessity to recognize our own experiences of stress, trauma, burnout, and ultimately vicarious trauma. We owe it to the people in our care to manage vicarious trauma in order to break cycles of mistrust and reduced client outcomes. This training explores a nuanced understanding of vicarious trauma and attempts to differentiate it from other experiences helpers may encounter. We will also explore its negative impacts on care delivery before examining tools for managing the inevitable.
