Putting Your Mask on First Training

The Healthy Start TA & Support Center (TASC) is excited to launch the Putting Your Mask on First virtual training led by Dr. Linda Henderson-Smith. Dr. Henderson-Smith has engaged with Healthy Start grantees while leading the previous Trauma Informed Care (TIC) and TIROE Communities of Practice (CoP), and also served as the cohost for the TASC’s podcast, the Power Podcast for Justice.

This course explores the definition of trauma and addresses concerns for caregivers, including the impacts of trauma, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout. Through short video lessons and worksheets, the course provides practical techniques and methods that caregivers can use to monitor their stress levels and ensure that they are adequately caring for their own mental health while caring for others.

The training is available on the HS Hub. If you already have a Hub account, you can access the training here. If you do not already have a HS Hub account, please click here to request an account.
