As the leading trauma-informed organization serving Greater Cleveland, PEP puts an emphasis on helping professionals understand the impact stressful or traumatic events can have on a child’s development.
The PEP Training Institute‘s latest offering – Understanding Behavior Through a Trauma-Informed Lens – is designed to help teachers, paraprofessionals, support staff and others confidently meet the needs of children demonstrating challenging behaviors.
The two-day program will be held Feb. 25-26 from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The program costs $200 per participant. For a registration form and additional information, click here.
