Community Education is a powerful way to improve awareness, perceptions, and attitudes about childhood trauma, toxic stress, adversity, and trauma informed care (TIC). It increases personal skills to manage emotions and conflict so that parents, children, caregivers, and teachers are better able to address challenges as they arise.
At the heart of Community Education is the ability for an individual and the entire community to become lifelong learners. This is a foundational piece of creating resilient communities, and any actions communities take rests on their awareness of childhood trauma, a commitment to trauma informed care, and the skills it takes to create resilience and well-being.
