Oneida Nation

This project supported staff training in Trauma Informed Care (TIC) best practices, community violence solutions for tribal communities, crisis awareness, and de-escalation for tribal partners.  The training indirectly supported 207 Native students from 8 different schools who faced various social challenges and trauma at home, school, and in the community.  Student experiences included domestic violence, unhealthy peer relationships, and not living in a household with their parent(s).  This training also emphasized the importance of healthy boundaries, self-care, and help in recognizing secondary trauma and compassion fatigue of staff.
