Join the Greater Bartow Chamber of Commerce for an upcoming Professional Growth Class on Trauma-Informed Care.

This session is designed to help you better understand how trauma impacts individuals and how to respond with awareness, empathy, and professionalism in your workplace. Whether you work directly with clients, customers, students, or teams, you’ll gain practical tools to create a more supportive and effective environment.

You’ll walk through key areas of trauma-informed care, including:

• Understanding what trauma is and how it affects behavior
• Recognizing signs of trauma in others
• Responding with empathy while maintaining professional boundaries
• Creating safe, supportive, and inclusive environments
• Improving communication in high-stress or sensitive situations
• Applying trauma-informed principles in everyday interactions

Rather than a lecture, this class focuses on real-world application—giving you practical strategies you can use immediately in your role and within your organization.
