Comprehensive Trauma-Informed Training
Lakeside has joined with Luzerne-Wyoming System of Care for the purpose of offering comprehensive trauma-informed training to educators to better support trauma-impacted children. We offer general workshops, extensive trauma-informed training, and trauma certifications for professionals. Our courses are offered by our seasoned training staff and can be delivered in person or virtually.
Research shows that 67% of the population has experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience. These trauma-based adversities are predictive of a multitude of toxic physical, mental and social outcomes throughout a person’s lifetime.
As a society and as individuals, we need to be better informed and prepared to prevent and address the traumatic impact of childhood adversities. In this multi-media, interactive workshop, professionals work together to build a powerful image that helps them appreciate the complex nature of trauma and its aftermath.

In order to understand any child it is necessary to consider the complexity and interrelated components that make up the child as a whole person, unique and unrepeatable. Professionals will benefit from exploring the broad cycles of development associated with ages, the child’s task at each developmental stage and how various aspects of uniqueness, such as temperament, environment and maturity influence behavior. Using LGI’s acronyms of PIES-RMS and ADUMS, professionals will be equipped with tools to explain to adults what is going on in the children they interact with. Note: This workshop will not explore neurodiversity. LGI is currently developing a separate workshop that will focus on neurodiversity as a component of the Whole Child.

Because every human being enters the world as a member of a family and because each human being cannot exist, grow, learn or thrive without being part of a group that provides safety and an environment that adequately meets their basic needs, it is essential that professionals are aware, understand and respect the complex and powerful relational forces that are part of a family. This workshop will explore the information around families so grow their understanding, leading to greater respect and nurture of healthier families.

The understanding of neurodiversity is relatively new. The more we increase awareness and gain understanding, the more we can accept, celebrate and appreciate the beauty and strengths of the unique individuals we encounter in our families, schools, communities and places of employment. While we cannot possibly cover every aspect of neurodiversity in this workshop, we look forward to exploring this topic together to enhance and enrich participant knowledge.
