How to Support Families in Crisis from a Trauma-Informed Lens

About the Webinar

Please join NNCC and Joseph J. Peters Institute (JJPI) for our second virtual training of the year for the Philly SPROUT (Supporting Parenting Relationships through Outreach, Understanding & Training) Project as we discuss trauma, its impact, and practices to support families in crisis.  This training session will feature two speakers, Sarah Leaman, Family Support Specialist, and Chou Hallegra, Program Manager, who support the Philadelphia Family Support Projects at Vision for Equality.

Being a caregiver of a child with disabilities, while deeply rewarding experience, can be incredibly stressful. Extreme or prolonged stress can lead to trauma. As professionals supporting families, a strong understanding of trauma and its impact is crucial for providing effective and compassionate care. Working effectively with families requires building trust, validating emotions, fostering collaboration, and more.

What You'll Learn

Throughout the training, attendees will increase their awareness of the challenges faced by families with children with disabilities, gain an understanding of psychological trauma and its impact on families, and learn trauma-informed strategies for building trust and supporting families in crisis.
