Train the Trainer Series
Get certified to train the 7ei model at your organization. By the time you finish all sessions, you’ll have developed a high proficiency in theory and application of Trauma Informed Care. And you will be certified to train others in the 7ei model and create ripple effects of change.*** Trainers will be certified to train the 7ei model at their named entity (facility, agency, school district or consortium), and are only authorized to train individuals employed by this entity. Under no circumstances is the trainee certified to authorize others to train using the 7ei curriculum. Certification expires two years after training is completed, at which time the person must discontinue teaching 7ei until recertified. If you have questions about this policy please contact SaintATraining@SaintA.org.

SaintA may award one scholarship to attend each 7ei of Trauma Informed Care Train the Trainer session. Applications for people who will strongly impact the Milwaukee community will be given highest consideration as SaintA continues its work to help more organizations become trauma informed and employ best practices in their organizations.
