The University of Guelph has launched an innovative training program aimed at increasing faculty and staff’s knowledge, understanding and awareness of how both lived traumatic experiences and generational trauma can impact student mental health and well-being.
Trauma-Informed Care Training: Connecting with Compassion (TIC:CC) is a two-hour in-person training program for staff and faculty who work closely with students that recognizes the prevalence of trauma.
TIC:CC aims to give faculty and staff the tools they need to build a supportive and understanding environment for students while also providing self-regulation and self-care practices so staff and faculty can protect their own well-being.
