FRONT ROYAL, VA—Warren Coalition will offer a free Trauma-Informed Certification Class (Course 1) on January 28, 2026, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm at Samuels Public Library (330 E. Criser Road).
We all interact with others on a daily basis, and we may be left wondering why we snapped, or why the other person acted so rudely. Sometimes we feel lonely, insecure, or as if we aren’t good enough, but we don’t know from where those feelings originate.

Trauma-Informed Training provides you with a different perspective, allowing you to approach yourself and others from a place of understanding. The class will inform you about the biological science of trauma, the lifelong impacts trauma can have on your mental and physical health, and how to approach others whose trauma history is unknown.
Attendees must be present for the full session to receive a Trauma-Informed Certification. (There will be a short lunch break; participants are encouraged to pack a lunch.) This course is offered free of charge to community members and is limited to 35 people. It will be taught in person by Christa Shifflett, Executive Director of the Warren Coalition and will not be recorded.

Their mission is to make Warren County a safe, healthy, and drug free community through many programs and in collaboration with 15+ member agencies.
