Trauma-Informed Nutrition Security Training registration closes
February 24
The Indiana Department of Health, Office of Minority Health invites you to a training opportunity facilitated by Leah’s Pantry, a national leader in trauma-informed nutrition. In this interactive training, participants will explore the meaning of food in our lives and the potential impacts of adversity on the relationship between individuals, communities, and their access to and relationship with food. Additionally, the training will outline trauma-informed strategies for creating person and community-centered programs and interventions.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Explain the connection between toxic stress, chronic disease, and food.
- Define and describe the basic process and principles of a trauma-informed approach and identify how these principles may be applied to their work.
- Describe ways to build a safe and trustworthy environment to discuss food, nutrition, and health.
- Discuss ways to reframe and respond to difficult behaviors in a trauma-informed way.
The training will include approximately three hours of self-paced work spread throughout the training (e.g., videos, activities, readings) and three ninety- minute Zoom webinars. See schedule below.
Please note: The live Zoom sessions are an integral part of the training, so it is highly recommended that participants attend instead of watching the recording at a later time.
Once registered, participants will receive a welcome email in mid-February from our online training platform, TalentLMS, with more details and access to the course. Please register by Monday, February 24.
