This 2 hour introductory training explores trauma-informed care (TIC) principles in the context of supporting young people who are affected by the stress and stigma of a parent’s substance use.  Using a relational and anti-oppressive approach that centres young people’s emotional needs and lived experiences, this workshop focuses on supporting participants to:

​

• Explore trauma in the context of the physical and emotional care needs of young people navigating systems

• Review TIC principles while critically examining gaps and barriers to implementation of TIC in practice

• Identify and practice strategies that shift from resilience narratives to healing justice, supporting youth to feel safe, seen, and supported in systems that often fail them.

​

This training is good for:

• individuals aware of TIC but eager to move beyond surface level understanding

• individuals ready to self reflect on their capacity to apply TIC principles for people with substance use challenges in the home

• Individuals eager to support the healing of families
