TRAUMA AT HOME: An Intro for Caregivers

“You can’t lead [a person] to a place of healing if you don’t know the way yourself.” - Dr. Karyn Purvis

Together, we’ll explore:

  • What trauma is and how it shapes the way people think, feel, and act

  • How trauma affects human development—physically, emotionally, and relationally

  • Understanding ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), PCEs (Positive Childhood Experiences), and the powerful role of nurturing resilience in healing

*This foundational module sets a good path for continued learning in the remaining modules.
