Hi All,
In Kansas City, we developed a course entitled, Building Resilience: Surviving Secondary Trauma. This course is facilitated by KCPD employees and is open to any/all First Reponders. We have recently expanded that to include Probation and Parole, Department of Health and Senior Services; Department of Corrections, Juvenile Justice, and military personnel. Basically, anyone who is exposed to Secondary Trauma on a daily basis.
The training has been a huge success and we have trained over 500 people to date. I have attached some basic information on it.
We also provide several hours of Trauma Informed Care training in our CIT courses and I am working with a few local elementary schools on how to bring Trauma Informed Policing into them. This endeavor is at the beginning stages but has lots of potential.
