Greetings & Welcome!
Dr. Curtis Callands, an alternative school principal and training consultant (Resiliency Consultants, LLC), has developed a trauma-informed care professional development series designed for educators, correctional facility and law enforcement personnel, healthcare providers, and caregivers who work with individuals exposed to adverse experiences. As a principal of a trauma-informed care school and former special education teacher of an emotional support classroom, Dr. Callands applies practical experiences, positionalities, and a trauma-informed care framework to tackle this growing epidemic. Data collected from participants’ knowledge, application of interventions, and perspectives are used to help create professional development that targets an organization’s specific needs.

As a school principal and having experienced childhood trauma, Dr. Curtis Callands has developed alternatives to challenge the traditional practices and punitive approaches of administering out-of-school suspension to students for their disruptive behaviors. Thus, this manual is designed to train and prepare teachers and staff members in TIC practices that will prepare them to meet the socioemotional and academic needs of students who have experienced trauma. This manual examines the perspectives and experiences of teachers and support staff receiving professional development training on trauma-informed care approaches that meet the needs of students who have experienced ACEs or traumatic events.
