Abstract
  • Safe Families for Children (SFFC) is a national, volunteer-based organization that provides out-of-home care for children whose families are in crisis. By doing so, they are working to keep the children safe and the family together. Because SFFC provides out-of-home care to families in crisis, they often encounter children who have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) which sometimes manifests as challenging behaviors in the children. My doctoral capstone project sought to educate on trauma-informed care and sensory processing styles to help the volunteers in SFFC better understand the behaviors of the children that they serve. I led a virtual training session for volunteers, and created video and flyer resources on trauma-informed care and sensory styles. Participants reported an increase in knowledge and preparedness to educate others after the training suggesting that it was effective.
