This course provides a basic introduction to a trauma-informed approach during an emergency response. In addition, this course addresses how a trauma-informed approach is a framework for organizations and learners to understand, recognize, and respond to the impact of trauma.
This course is the first course in the Minnesota Trauma-Informed Emergency Response and Recovery (MnTIER) training program.
MnTIER is a training program that aims to provide a framework that guides the planning and operations of disaster response and recovery that was developed to support communities throughout Minnesota but could be applicable to other communities.
