Foundations of TIC Modules

Welcome to Trauma Informed Oregon's Foundations of Trauma Informed Care (TIC) Online Training Modules!

This course consists of eight short videos which cover the foundational topics of trauma informed care. It includes access to a 15-page workbook with thought-provoking questions to aid in the reflection and application of the information.

At the end of the course, you may download a certificate of completion. To be eligible for the certificate, learners must watch all videos from beginning to end. Using the video's control bar, you may rewind the videos to re-watch a part that you would like to review; however, fast-forwarding has been disabled. This approach is designed to help learners absorb the information.
