Effective July 1, 2022, the CT General Assembly passed legislation requiring Regional Educational Service Centers (RESC) to develop a statewide training program to support public school educators in addressing trauma.

​

Trauma can negatively impact physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral development, and can have lasting effects on health, well-being, and prosperity well into adulthood. A trauma-informed approach can help schools thoughtfully look at strategies to identify areas that may be perpetuating trauma responses in students, staff, and families. UPLIFT is a train-the-trainer program that is trauma-informed, resilience-focused, and individualized to meet the unique systemic needs of a school or district. The Regional Trauma Coordinators will provide training, technical assistance, and consultation to public school districts.
