Ep. 9 - Trauma-Informed Care in Schools

For our ninth episode, we talk with Alison Savage, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor and Senior Specialist, Program Management at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital's Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children. We discuss Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), how Alison supports schools with implementing a TIC practice, and how TIC practice helps build resiliency while deescalating or regulating a child in distress. We also learn more about the work The Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children and Joining Forces for Children is doing in the Cincinnati area. We hope you enjoy!
