I wanted to ask for help in very specific techniques that you use with front line staff for re-regulation and also shifting the conversation from "Why" to "What happened to you?" We are in the process of becoming Sanctuary certified and I am finding that there is a real difference between "learning about trauma" and being a real practitioner of TMI--especially in a large setting--like a classroom, training room, front door, etc. Really wanting to put together a set of skills/exercises/necessary attitudes to help folks make this transition!
Very excited about it! We say "we want to move more upstream" to help our youth learn their history so that they can seize the opportunities that are in front of them!
I also wanted to pass on the recent interview that ran on NPR about our shift to Trauma Informed Care.
