TRAUMA-INFORMED TRAINING TOPICS

Maine Resilience Building Network offers training on Trauma-Informed Care to organizations across the state. Our trainings focus on understanding key foundational topics so that everyone working in an organization can operate from a shared language and understanding.

MRBN trains across many sectors as part of its commitment to bringing trauma-informed practices to organizations, communities, and systems throughout the state. All trainings are evidence-based and tailored for those working in education, health care, behavioral and mental health, social services, community-based organizations, civic leadership, or business communities. MRBN's work is data-driven through several sources and offers county and local community data when available.

In addition, MRBN offers technical assistance to organizations and communities to become a more trauma-informed system. Technical assistance includes awareness training, policy, practice review, and implementation. MRBN takes a strength-based approach grounded in cultural humility and a strong recognition that positive experiences and environments are essential to the health and well-being of systems.
