Applications are now open to join the fifth and sixth cohorts of the Infant Toddler Trauma-Informed Care Project (ITTI Care), which trains early childhood professionals as coaches in trauma-informed care.

ITTI Care is a research project based out of Duke University and funded by North Carolina’s Division of Child Development and Early Education. The mission of the project is to support the wellness of the early childhood workforce, ensuring they feel “seen, heard, and held” in their workplaces. This equips them to provide the very best care to the children they teach, even when they face challenges in their own lives.
