Facilitator: Kyle Bixenmann, Manager of External Training, Mount Saint Vincent

Description: This is the second part of a two part series about providing trauma-informed support to young people. This session will focus on applying the trauma-informed concepts learned in the Foundations of a Trauma-Informed Approach class to actual children that we serve. Using Mount Saint Vincent's, state-based intervention planning tool, participants will walk through a case study of an actual young person and see how we used an understanding of trauma and neurobiology to develop a plan to support him. Working in table groups, participants will then have the opportunity to develop their own state-based intervention plans for young people they work with to help them better navigate challenges.

Takeaways:

• A template for support planning for young people impacted by trauma
• An actual plan to use with a young person in your program

Session Style: Lecture & Interactive workshop

Recommended for: Direct service/site staff; Managers or site leads; Organization leadership; New to youth development
