TRAIN the TRAINER

Yes. The instructor teaches this program with the assumption that participants are familiar with the concepts of empathic strain (also known as compassion fatigue) and secondary traumatic stress.

If these concepts are new to you, not to worry. All participants of the Train the Trainer Program will be given access to our Compassion Fatigue 101 on-demand course via their TEND Toolkit subscription. This on-demand course must be completed prior to beginning the Train the Trainer Program. If you have already completed this online course, you do not have to re-do the course – however, you are encouraged to review the material.

Participants will also be encouraged to review the basics of trauma-informed care prior to beginning the program. These materials will be made available to you upon receipt of your course fee or non-refundable deposit.

We encourage all participants to set aside 4-hours of protected time prior to the beginning of the Train the Trainer Program to review the introductory material.

Individuals who wish to acquire the tools and skills to support teams who work in trauma-exposed workplaces. Past participants of this program include professionals from health care, education, law, police, military, government, public health, animal welfare, and many others.
