BECOME TRAUMA INFORMED 
​Becoming “trauma-informed” means recognizing that people often have experienced many different types of trauma in their lives. People who have been traumatized need support and understanding from those around them.  R.E.A.C.H. seeks to educate Churches, organizations, schools and the community about the impact of trauma on students, clients, co-workers, friends, family, and even ourselves. Understanding the impact of trauma is an important first step in becoming a compassionate and supportive community.

The trainings below are conducted by Starr Commonwealth certified Trauma Trainers. If you are wanting to obtain your Certified Trauma Practitioner these trainings are  required for either the CTP - C or CTP - E. Each training is approved for 6 CEs.
