(CLAIR) – At For The Need Foundation, the well-being of the children and families they serve is of utmost importance. With that in mind, the foundation has enlisted the help of mental health specialist Serena Nguyen to provide trauma-informed care training to its volunteers. This valuable training will enable volunteers to better understand the complexities of outreach programs like For the Need and the unique challenges faced by the youth they serve.
Trauma-informed care is an approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma on an individual’s life and addresses the potential paths for recovery. By incorporating this understanding into their work, volunteers can create a safe and supportive environment for the children and families they interact with.
Serena Nguyen, an experienced mental health specialist, brings her expertise to the table to train For The Need volunteers in this essential approach. Through her guidance, volunteers will learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma and respond with empathy and understanding.
The trauma-informed care training will greatly enhance the effectiveness of the outreach programs offered by For The Need Foundation. With a deeper understanding of the trauma that many of the children and families have experienced, volunteers can tailor their support and interactions accordingly, ensuring the most positive impact on the lives of those they serve.
This training also promotes a sense of unity and collaboration among the volunteers, as they become more aware of the common goals they share in supporting the children and families in the community. As a result, the foundation’s programs will become even more successful in helping the youth overcome adversity and reach their full potential.
