T-Care

TARGET trauma-informed care

In a one-day training, line and professional staff, administrators, and officials (such as judges or legislators) learn the TARGET approach. They will learn to apply the knowledge and skill set to maximize their own work and personal effectiveness to mitigate the adverse impact of work stress, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma.

T-Care

Plus

T-Care Plus is a training for direct care supervisors. It brings the skills of T-Care into the supervisory relationship as it supports those in supervisory roles with skills and strategies to strengthen their ability to supervise within a trauma responsive system. T-Care Plus provides trainees awareness, knowledge and practical skills to use their influence as a supervisor within all domains of the organization.

Health

TARGET

Health on TARGET, is an adaptation of the evidence-based intervention, TARGET (Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy). Health on TARGET was developed to be a resource to users experiencing a health journey, as well as to their caregivers and loved ones. This training is reserved for licensed mental health providers.

Health on TARGET provides a practical guide to understanding how four essential areas in the brain react to physical illness as a form of stress; re-setting the body's alarm system by tapping into the power of the brain's higher-order centers that regulate bodily pain and health as well as our emotions. Resetting the alarm in the brain is an essential, but too often overlooked, way to manage pain and restore bodily health. When the brain's alarm center is over-reacting, it can hijack the brain and trigger chronic pain, inflammation, and auto-immune responses that cause chronic suffering and undermine bodily health.
