It helps participants understand how to better support individuals who have experienced trauma, whether first-‐hand, vicariously, or intergenerationally. Participants do not need any formal preparation to attend the training. We encourage all frontline and service staff to take this training, from support through administration. We also recommend supplementing this training with Inuit Cultural Competency Training available through various agencies in Nunavut, including IIKELC.
