Jul 18th& 25th 10am-3pm

To support more organizations in becoming trauma-informed and to sustain practices that help their clients and employees to thrive, the Bounce Coalition has developed Bounce University, a two-day “train the trainer” program that enables participants to teach the Bounce curriculum.

Participants learn to present Bounce’s evidence-based, interactive learning modules, foundational to building trauma-informed individuals, systems, and communities.

Upon completion of Bounce University training, participants are asked to demonstrate the acquisition of the knowledge and skills required to become a Certified Bounce Trainer by: 

1. Completing an objective assessment that measures understanding of the key learning objectives (with immediate feedback on performance); and 
2. Presenting portions of the Bounce content to the training team and classmates in a simulated training environment to ensure content is delivered with a high degree of fidelity and competence.

Trainers will gain knowledge in the following competencies:  

• The seminal Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study and research on child adversity and resilience
• How ACEs impact brain development
• The signs of trauma and impact on lifelong health
• How trauma-informed and resilience-building practices help heal ACEs
• The importance of self-care
• Resilient behaviors to help people thrive and barriers to building resilience
• Practical actions to build a culture of resilience 

Individuals who become Certified Bounce Trainers become eligible to provide trainings and received compensation.
