SUMMARY:Before the Crisis: Prevention that Actually Works - CLASS IS FULL
DESCRIPTION:This training reframes prevention as an early\, relational\, and system-level practice rather than a reaction to crisis. Participants examine why prevention often occurs too late\, how stress accumulates before behaviors escalate\, and how timely support can improve outcomes without being permissive or punitive. Through guided reflection and applied discussion\, the course supports a shift from reactive responses to practical\, trauma-responsive\, prevention-focused decision-making embedded in daily practice\, relationships\, and organizational culture.2.5 CEUs awarded for Ohio registered CSWMFT. \nRegister Now
