Core Curriculum material is designed to create low-risk places to explore complex social, emotional, clinical, and cultural issues associated with bringing trauma-informed care to youth-serving systems. Facilitating the Core Curriculum takes skill and practice, both in guiding learners through training and in ensuring you are providing the skills and practices necessary for intended learning to occur in a safe, supportive climate. Watch this video about facilitating the CCCT. Now watch them come to life in the following demonstration.

The simplest way to bring the CCCT to your organization is to hire an advanced facilitator to conduct a trauma-informed training for your staff. Advanced facilitators have undergone years of training in case facilitation and have unique skills at bringing forward and exploring salient issues in child traumatic stress. They can work with you to identify your intended audience, the important skills to incorporate in a training, and then conduct the training for you.

The Core Curriculum Community of Facilitators

The Core Curriculum Community of Facilitators is a dedicated network of professionals committed to delivering high-quality training on childhood trauma. Facilitators play a crucial role in helping others understand and apply trauma-informed principles in their work with children and families.

Facilitating Collaborative Experiential Learning takes skills and expertise over and above those needed to lead a trauma-informed training. They must understand their learning goals and guide the collaborative process to reach them, model expert thinking, and create an accessible learning climate that supports learners in exploring their own understandings and growing understandings together. 

There are two levels of facilitators:

• CertifiedFacilitators can lead trainings within their own organization or site.
• Advanced Facilitators are certified to facilitate the curriculum anywhere and can be paid for their facilitation work.

Beyond training, facilitators are part of a growing community that connects through events, discussions, and shared learning. This collaborative space allows facilitators to deepen their knowledge, support one another, and refine their skills, ensuring they continue to make a meaningful impact in trauma-informed care.
