"Trauma-Informed Care means looking beyond the behavior and responding to the needs with safety, understanding, consistency, and compassion while maintaining appropriate boundaries and accountability."
— From one of the participants
Bidlisiw Foundation, Inc. conducted the 2-Day Trauma-Informed Care Training for Professionals, bringing together Guidance Counselors, NDEP Focal Persons, Social Workers, and Mental Health Professionals from DepEd Region VII, DSWD, CSWS–Mandaue, SAMHSO–Mandaue, and Municipal Social Welfare and Services (MSWS) offices from Cebu Province.
Over the two days, participants explored practical approaches to strengthening trauma-informed practice through sessions on Establishing Limits, Conflict Management, Understanding Trauma Stewardship, and Self-Care Strategies. The training provided a space for participants to reflect on how trauma-informed approaches can be integrated into their work, while also recognizing the importance of caring for themselves as professionals who provide care and support to others.
