Foundation is to raise awareness of trauma-informed care through education and provide resources while conducting art-based and nature-based intervention strategies as both intervention and preventative measures for substance use and suicide. Our Trauma Informed Community program is building a coordinated response to childhood trauma by training parents, teachers, staff of youth-serving organizations, and other adults to employ a trauma-informed approach when caring for youth impacted by trauma. We trained 422 individuals in 2023. The collective understanding of experts, researchers and direct service providers in the fields of child welfare, youth development and trauma is that expanding universal best practices of trauma-informed care is a crucial step in mitigating the effects of childhood trauma. Through webinars, presentations, and trainings, our Trauma Informed Community program helps adults better understand trauma, recognize its triggers, employ tools to help youth regulate emotions during stressful times, prevent re-traumatization, and build youth resiliency. By investing in and building trauma informed communities, Skye's the Limit Foundation is effectively minimizing the negative, long-term impacts of childhood trauma. This program provides training to organizations that serve people who use substances as well as to Parent groups. After this training, an individual will understand how to implement harm reduction practices in their organization, and be a distributor of harm reduction materials in the community. 0 56792 Our Resilient Youth Through Arts & Nature Based Intervention program employs a trauma-informed approach designed to help youth and young adults impacted by trauma heal, build resiliency, and connect to peers with similar life experiences. The program also helps young people develop safe relationships with caring adults trained in ACEs and Trauma-Informed Care. According to the Arizona Trauma Institute, the key to recovering from trauma and building resilience is forming a positive, trusting and long-term relationship with a guardian, parent, or peer. Therefore, this Youth Empowerment program intentionally strengthens peer to peer, parent and child, and youth leader to youth relationships. The program offers the following activities to youth (typically 13-21 years old) who have experienced trauma. Skye's the Limit!
