Description

TCI trainers must have a deeper understanding of how the essential concepts, principles, and skills in TCI are interwoven, in order to assist staff in their understanding and ability to assist a child. The essential concepts and principles in TCI influence the application of strategies when supporting children before, during, and after a crisis. Participants in the update will have an opportunity to discuss and experience more of the newer aspects of this latest edition of TCI that were not explored in depth during the virtual update.  

Learning Outcomes

  3. Describe and demonstrate empathic responses.
