Training of Trainers (TOT) Workshops available in English
The TOT workshop will provide an overview of OC Safe from the Start, a program to reduce children's exposure to violence. It will describe the Safe from the Start public health campaign and the OC Safe from the Start local initiative based on current research from Dr. Bruce Perry of the ChildTrauma Academy.
Participants will learn about brain development and how exposure to violence may alter its normal development in children ages 0 - 5. All attendees will receive an OC Safe from the Start toolkit and binder that include resources and learning materials that can be integrated into their current practice. There is a $30 fee for the English TOT. This fee covers the cost of materials and lunch.
