About Us
At the Trauma-Informed Care Institute™, we believe safe, ethical, and trauma-informed care is not just a specialty, it’s a standard every practitioner should embody.
We are a mission-driven organization offering the world’s only trauma-informed certification program approved for board certification, equipping professionals across disciplines to serve with greater awareness, integrity, and impact.
Our programs are CEU-approved, deeply research-based, and rooted in the belief that transformation begins with understanding, not judgment.
Trauma-Informed Care Institute bridges the gap between academic rigor and real-world, heart-centered care. Whether you're a coach, healthcare provider, healer, parent, or practitioner, our goal is to help you recognize trauma responses, prevent re-traumatization, and confidently support healing, while protecting your own energy along the way.
Our Approach
At the Trauma-Informed Care Institute™, we take a whole-person, practitioner-rooted approach to trauma-informed education. Focusing on education that blends clinical science with compassionate, real-world application.
Our framework is grounded in the latest neuroscience, informed by health psychology, and guided by the core principles of trauma-informed care: safety, trust, collaboration, choice, empowerment, and cultural humility.
But what sets us apart is how we teach:
-
We make complex trauma science clear, usable, and scope-appropriate for coaches, providers, and holistic practitioners.
-
We emphasize integration over information focusing on embodied understanding, not memorized definitions.
-
We provide self-reflection tools and real-life case examples that help you recognize trauma responses in both your clients and yourself.
-
We prioritize ethical care, boundaries, and sustainability so you can support others without burning out or overstepping.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all checklist. It’s a way of seeing, serving, and showing up with deeper awareness, greater regulation, and lasting impact.
Our goal is simple: to help you become a practitioner who doesn’t just know what trauma-informed care is but lives it in every interaction.
