What You’ll Learn

  • The neuroscience of trauma—how it affects both the brain and the body. And how the brain heals.

  • How to understand stress responses through the psychology of trauma

  • How to offer support that doesn’t retraumatize, but fosters safety and trust

  • Actionable tools to expand someone’s “window of tolerance” and promote healing

“Trauma is everywhere—and yet most people don’t feel prepared to respond. You don’t have to be a therapist to make a difference. With the right tools, anyone can help create safety, connection, and healing in their community.”

— Lara Gregorio, LCSW. Founder, 4C
