LGI’s Trauma-Awareness Certification in Early Childhood Education
This 9-hour, 3-part training series bridges the gap between trauma-informed care principles and practical applications in early care and education (ECE) settings. It examines the prevalence and impact of stress and trauma on development and mental health and makes trauma-informed care actionable and accessible for childcare providers.
This program offers three monthly workshops, each lasting two hours, followed by a debrief session a week later.
Debrief Sessions are reflective practice opportunities to engage peers in the process of learning, understanding, and applying new information.
To earn PQAS credit for each workshop, attendance at Debrief Sessions is required.
Training Delivery Method
This training series is co-facilitated and provided virtually (facilitated live via a web-based platform). LGI currently utilizes Zoom for virtual training.

What is Lakeside Global Institute's Early Childhood Trauma Initiative?
Lakeside Global Institute's Early Childhood Trauma Initiative provides a practical and systematic approach for early childhood education programs and staff to become trauma-informed.
LGI’s framework includes three levels of growth, from Trauma-Awareness to Trauma-Responsive, to Trauma-Competent.
These efforts aim to help childcare providers create a more supportive and trauma-informed environment for children, families, and staff.
Who should take this training?
Early Childhood Education Staff:
This includes both direct caregivers (teachers, assistants) and indirect support staff (administrators, kitchen staff) working with children ages 0-5 in childcare settings.
Early Childhood Coaches and Mentors
Early Intervention & Mental Health Professionals: This includes professionals who provide support services to children within childcare settings.
Parents: Parents of children enrolled in early childhood education programs are welcome to attend.

Do I have to attend all sessions?

For any of the missed workshops, opportunities to catch up may be available when the series is offered again (scheduled date to be announced).
What is the total cost of the Trauma Awareness Certification?
The total cost for the 9-hour certification is $155 per person.
How many people will be in the training cohort?
