Our 4the1 team went for a Trauma-informed training day with Autumn Williams. She is the director of Courageous Care.

It was a great time together as a team, learning about different kinds of traumas and how to support and speak about this with the children and adults in our ministry.

We've done the first of two Saturdays. Our team is looking forward to the second Saturday.

On the Courageous Care website (www.courageouscaresa.org) it says the following about the training:

"We care, but what do we do?"

This training will get you started! It is 8 hours of material that is tailored to your needs! It covers:

- The effects of trauma: The 5 Bs- Brain, Biology, Body, Beliefs, & Behaviour

- Neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to grow and change)

- Community-care & Self-care

- Healthy relationships in the midst of trauma.

Courageous Care's vision is to provide this training in communities that would not otherwise be served.
