In this training, participants will explore the impact of early childhood trauma as it affects children, families and childcare providers. The training will include the definitions of trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and the characteristics of toxic stress and how it relates to child development. Participants will explore best practices in early childhood and afterschool settings. This introductory-level training meets the Advanced Specialized Care training requirement. This training uses a 2+2+2 training design. There are three parts to this training: 1) a two-hour Online Real Time training session; 2) two-hour assignment practicing or implementing the training material; and 3) another two-hour Online Real Time training session focused on reflection and next steps related to the training material. To receive the full 6 training hours you must attend both Online Real Time training sessions and complete the independent assignment.
