What is Trauma-Informed Mentorship?

About this episode

This episode explores trauma-informed mentorship and its significance for children in foster care and those who have experienced early adversity.

Trauma-informed mentorship isn’t just a trendy phrase—it’s a powerful approach that meets kids from foster care and early adversity with empathy, consistency, and connection. In this episode, we break down what trauma-informed mentorship really means, why it matters for kids who’ve experienced developmental trauma, and how the Stable Moments model is providing a practical framework for healing. We also explore why mentorship starts with us—and how doing our own inner work through the Heal Yourself, Heal the World course helps mentors show up with the presence and self-awareness that kids truly need. ✨ Whether you're a program leader, mentor, or advocate for youth in foster care, this episode will leave you inspired to create stable moments that change lives.
