CLAREMONT — The Greater Sullivan County Public Health Network is partnering with Dartmouth-Hitchcock to offer another 2-part series on “Child Care Trainings: Trauma Informed Child Care Practices” in Claremont and the Upper Valley this fall, with the assistance of sponsors and partnerships. 

Dr. Erin Barnett will provide the free six-hour training in understanding trauma, approaches to trauma-informed early childhood care that allows providers to understand the causes of aggression, avoidant, and non-compliant behaviors with strategies to build relationships and use strength-based approaches for intervention. Transforming early childcare settings allows for children to feel safe and secure, to be able to de-escalate children who have experienced trauma, all according to information from Community Health Improvement at D-H.
