Course Description
From Compliance to Compassion is a five-module workshop for child welfare professionals, where up to 80% of foster youth report traumatic experiences. Using brain science, real case studies, and SAMHSA’s six trauma-informed principles, participants learn to read behavior as communication and build safety, voice, and choice into casework and compliance monitoring. The payoff: better engagement, stronger placement stability, and staff who last. Use the QR code to register and code Becky26 to receive an additional 25% discount.
