How does trauma informed care relate to Infant and Maternal Health and Home Visiting?

Equip, Support and Empower Your Agency with Brain-Based, Trauma-Competent Training and Resilience Skills

Stress has an impact on the pregnant mother, and therefore the mother’s baby. Understanding the impact of stress and supporting a healthy birth experience is foundational in ensuring a safe and healthy pregnancy, birthing experience, and a child reaching their first birthday.

​

Home Visitors support parents and caregivers in the community and must have an understanding of the impact of trauma and stress on the parent and caregiver, as well as themselves in their work. Home Visitors must recognize the implications of secondary trauma and burnout in their work.

​

A brain-based, trauma- competent lens makes the connections between stress and trauma on everyday interactions between the caregivers, parents, and home visitors to enhance strategies and build resilience and competence within the families as well as the home visitor.

Trainings

Our training curriculum is brain-based and moves participants from “trauma-informed” to “trauma-competent.”

Topics include ACEs & Resilience, Historical Trauma, the Stress Response System, and Strategies for Regulation.

Group Sessions

We will meet with you directly in order to provide feedback, process situations, offer technical assistance, and support with implementation of brain-based trauma-informed concepts.

1:1 Coaching

Similarly to 1:1 Coaching, work is conducted collaboratively with the team to process situations, support implementation of brain-based, trauma informed concepts into daily work.

Join us for a free lunch and learn on the third Tuesday of the month where we discuss one brain-based trauma competent concept and apply it to the Infant & Maternal Health field.

Building Resilience in the Early Years

Foundational concepts are divided into three segments, taking a deeper look into core knowledge. These workshops are divided as:

​

  • Templates & Experiences

  • Regulation & Relationships

  • ACEs & Resilience

Sandboxes

In these sessions, participants will discuss challenges they are facing in their work. They will collaborate and use creativity to problem solve and support one another.

Coaching

Schedule a consultation with Olivia to discuss what couching is, challenges you may be facing in your work, how our program can best understand your agencies goals and adapt and tailor services to support your goals.
