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.

Olivia Bobb
My professional career has been centered on early childhood education, early intervention, and working with families to further support children's growth and development. Throughout my work, I have developed a deep-rooted passion for trauma-informed care and the implications of it to building relationships and furthering the impact of our work in the social services field. In my free time, I enjoy running, walking my dog, and baking.
