Malagos, Davao City, October 24, 2023 – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office XI through its Community-Based Services Section (CBSS) under the Protective Services Division (PSD) conducted a training on trauma-informed care for Local Social Welfare and Development Officers (LSWDOs) on September 20-22, 2023 at Malagos Garden Resort, Baguio District, Davao City. 

Trauma-informed care is an approach to providing support and assistance to individuals who have experienced trauma. This training aims to equip LSWDOs with the knowledge and skills necessary to interact with and assist people who may have experienced various forms of trauma. It emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment that takes into consideration the psychological and emotional needs of individuals who have undergone traumatic events.

With this training, the capabilities of LSWDOs in addressing the needs of their communities, particularly those who have experienced trauma are enhanced. This approach promotes empathy, understanding, and a holistic perspective when providing services to individuals who require support and assistance due to traumatic experiences. It ultimately contributes to more effective and sensitive social services and care within the community. ### (DSWD FO XI/EMCJr)
