Summary
This study tests a new workshop designed to help caregivers in residential facilities use everyday interactions to build trusting, healing relationships with children who have experienced trauma. About 300 caregivers and children aged 8 and older will participate. The goal is to see if the workshop makes caregivers more confident and intentional in their interactions, and whether children notice more positive connections.
