This training is intended to build awareness and support participants in recognizing trauma and responding to individuals who have been exposed to adverse experiences and/or trauma. UPLIFT training provides school mental health professionals, administrators, teachers and/or support staff with knowledge related to trauma and common trauma symptoms, as well as implications that trauma and toxic stress can have on behaviors presented at home, in school, or in the community. The training incorporates neurodevelopmental information to increase awareness of the potential repercussions of trauma and toxic stress on brain development, and implications for learning, academic achievement or engagement, and social success. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of a trauma-informed care framework and how this intersects with existing school initiatives. UPLIFT is designed to offer all school-based personnel a basic understanding of trauma and trauma-informed care practices at all tiers, from universal practices to individualized supports.
