Trauma Informed Leadership I is the first tier of the certification series.  This session includes the Series Intro-duction & Neuro Mechanisms.

This tier is designed to help participants understand that our brains don't work the way we think they do. The magic of the brain is not found in the parts it is made of, but in the way those parts work together. We think we see the world and ourselves as we really are, but we miss quite a lot and inaccurately assume a great deal more. This introductory tier is about the brain and neural mechanisms the brain uses to help us navigate our world. This session serves as an essential foundation for the remainder of the series.
