Environmental Assessments

For children with lived experiences of trauma and adversity, the household must be a safe space, both physically and emotionally. Caregivers who proactively plan to create a safe and nurturing environment will be more successful in settling their child into their new home. In addition, research shows that unsafe situations and violence are relatively predictable and that increased awareness of these factors empowers caregivers and children to stay safe as they navigate their day. This class covers practical strategies to promote physical and emotional safety in the home and other common environments. 

• Plan to make the home a safe space
• Adjust the home environment where necessary
• Appreciate the importance of structure, routines, and schedules
• Respond to unsafe situations in the street, in the home, and in the car
