Idaho Public Television is excited to partner with Idaho Children’s Trust Fund to bring teachers, counselors, and other practitioners a three-part virtual, professional development series centered around our documentary Resilient Idaho: Hope Lives Here. Being a trauma-informed teacher or practitioner is critical because Idaho is the fifth highest in the nation for children with three or more ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). 

The first webinar in the series will focus on self-care and mental wellness, and will be held online via Zoom on Thursday, Aug. 19, from 5-7 PM Mountain.

In the second webinar, attendees will learn about trauma-informed classrooms. This webinar takes place virtually via Zoom on Thursday, Sept. 16, from 5-7 PM Mountain.

The third webinar will feature some hands-on, practical applications and ideas for managing trauma in the classroom. This final webinar will be held online via Zoom on Thursday, Oct. 21, from 5-7 PM Mountain.

All of the webinars will be available to teachers and practitioners at no cost and will be available for credit. Please join us as we learn how to conquer ACEs and be more trauma-informed. You can register on our website at https://www.idahoptv.org/resilience
