70% of adults in the U.S. – 223.4 million people – have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives. Adverse Childhood Studies show that many of these traumas occur before age 18 and result in disrupted brain development, adoption of at-risk health behaviors, and increased risk for disease, disability, and social problems in children and adults. The Center for Disease Control recognizes this epidemic requires a public health response at national, state, and local levels. Evidence shows that implementing trauma-informed practices within all human services systems impacting youth, adults, and their families, empowers individuals to build their resilience and enhance their overall health and well-being. In response to this public health issue, we are working towards building a trauma-informed campus community. This training discusses the basic principles of the impact of trauma and the responsibility we all hold in building individual and community resilience.
