Foundations of Trauma Informed Care
1. Asynchronous Foundations of TIC (AKA Self-Led Online Course)
This platform 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. Viewers are encouraged to choose their own adventure with this resource. Follow along independently or engage a larger group and use the workbook questions to facilitate dialogue.
Learners may also opt to register for the free Foundations Course, which will offer a certificate of completion at the end of the course. Both asynchronous options contain the same content.

Our Training of Trainers consists of four days of in-person learning and practicing of TIO’s Foundational material.
