Welcome to the RC Trainers’ Corner

This is a LOGIN section of the TSI website where RC Associate Trainers can access resources related to your role as an RC Trainer.  This is your FIRST “go to” place for information on a variety of topics.  See the below section headings to access the information you need. We will continually be adding information in the future.

If you are not able to find something here, email us at tsisupport@klingberg.org.

Warm Regards,
Staff of the Traumatic Stress Institute

Accessibility Features

As of September 2026, videos in the most recent revisions of both the RC Basic and RC IDD Basic are embedded in the slides. This makes showing videos easier by:

  • automatically switching to full screen display mode when you click the play button
  • automatically returning to the slide presentation after the video plays
  • it also plays regardless of internet connection, increasing reliability

However, one downside to embedded videos is that it removes access to closed captioning. In order to preserve access, the revisions now integrate links underneath videos that lead to an online version with closed-captioning and multi-language subtitles available.

Click below for a demo to learn how to utilize closed caption and subtitle options. If you’re not sure whether you have the most current update, you can re-download the slides; this page always shows the most updated versions available.

In the 2024 Revision of RC Basic, most video content is now embedded within the PowerPoint presentations, but you can still access them here via a Vimeo Showcase if you’d prefer. Vimeo could be a better choice in these cases:

  • If you are training virtually (playback of embedded videos in PowerPoint can be choppy. Vimeo may play better)
  • If you want to adjust playback speed
  • If you need video content with closed captioning or subtitles (multiple language options)

See video at the top of this section, labeled “Accessibility Features”, to learn more about how to utilize video content with closed captioning

VIDEO FOR PURCHASE

Portraits of Professional Caregivers: Their Passion. Their Pain.

This video is required to teach the RC Basic and is automatically sent to each agency as part of its Risking Connection Change initiative, as there are licensing considerations for this film that have always prohibited us from sharing it via the website or Vimeo. 

NEW this Revision: The filmmaker has agreed to allow us to embed the segments of the film used in RC Basic directly in the PowerPoints.

If  you would like additional licenses, please use the password information below and click here to purchase at the discounted price of $200.

Looking for RC Trainer Events?

The Next Generation of Agency Updates are Here!

Agency Updates just got a major upgrade that will vastly improve and personalize access to your agency’s registration and attendance information in real time. Welcome to the new, frictionless tracking experience.

In the past, RC Agency Contacts received 4 email updates per year to help them monitor their progress. Thanks to improvements to our registration system, you no longer need to wait for an email from us. Agency Contacts will receive an email tomorrow with their agency’s personalized link, and everyone in the RC community can check here on the Trainers’ Corner for their agency’s link to find their information anytime.

Attendance requirements: RC Trainers and RC IDD Trainers are required to attend two trainer-level events per calendar year (January-December) to maintain their trainer status. Events that count toward this requirement are: Any Train-the-Trainer (RC, RA, or FC), RC or RC IDD Recertification (due every 2 years), and RC Webinars.

Champions and Agency Contacts are welcome to attend RC Webinars, but are not required to do so.

Monthly RC Newsletter Available on Trainers' Corner

We send a newsletter by email about once a month to keep you informed — but emails can be easy to miss. You can also find the newsletter anytime here on Trainers’ Corner.

Each issue includes quick-reference links to upcoming trainings, important announcements about updates that may affect you (such as changes to materials or resources), as well as news from the RC and other trauma-informed communities.

Risking Connection Beyond the Training Room

The Risking Connection merch store is here! Wear your commitment to trauma-informed care and share the message wherever you go. 

We launched the RC Store as part of the December webinar celebrating Risking Connection’s 25th anniversary, and some lucky attendees received free merch as thanks for celebrating with us. Keep an eye out – we’ll develop more products in coming months. Want something you don’t see in the store? Contact us at tsisupport@klingberg.org.  

    Our Commitment to Trauma-informed Care, Equity, and Racial Healing

    In 2025, we are celebrating the Risking Connection curriculum’s 25th anniversary! While the underlying theoretical framework has stood the test of time, trauma knowledge, awareness, social-cultural perspectives have evolved. The current Risking Connection training meets the challenges that 2025 brings to those in the United States who are committed to advancing trauma-informed care, equity, and racial healing.

    At the Traumatic Stress Institute (TSI), we do what we do because we believe:

    • Adversity and trauma are common
    • Trauma training and trauma-informed care must address the trauma of racism
    • Relationships are critical to healing
    • Trauma-informed organizations are places where staff thrive, and clients heal

    Our Risking Connection Change Model, which includes Risking Connection training, supports this view by incorporating research, case scenarios, images, and language representing diverse communities, identities, and traditions across various sectors. Now more than ever, TSI’s bold vision is a world where organizations and service systems fully embrace and embed trauma-informed care so that all trauma survivors who enter their doors heal and thrive.

    RC Monthly Mindfulness has Closed

    RC Monthly Mindfulness sessions have now ended.  Trauma-sensitive mindfulness practices can improve personal and professional well-being and while our Monthly Mindfulness sessions have officially ended, you can always utilize our collection of prior recorded sessions via the link below, or search for “Mindfulness” on our blog to find written content.

    As we’re always thinking about ways to bring helpful content to you, we are currently planning a next venture. You can expect to hear more in the fall.

    RC Basic Training Evaluation Form

    We believe the evaluation forms are useful tools for RC Trainers and encourage you to use them. However, TSI’s former practice of requesting you share your evaluations has been discontinued; they are now purely for your own/your agency’s review and learning.

    Below is an example of an Evaluation Form participants could complete at the conclusion of the RC Basic Training, but you can also feel free to create your own form or use Google Forms to create an online version.

    RC Trainer Attendance Requirements and Organizational Requirements

    For New RC Associate Trainers that Have Completed the Train-the-Trainer (TTT) in the
    Current Calendar Year:

    • The RC TTT counts as one event. You MUST attend at least one other event this
      year unless your TTT occurs after October 1st of that year. Then you do NOT need to
      attend another event this year.
    • TSI offers 6 to 8 webinars per year for you to choose from. We occasionally may
      structure webinars differently but will give advance notice.
    • There is no additional cost during the year of your RC TTT; your agency will be billed per year in the future.
    • You can attend as many webinars as you like at no additional cost.

    For RC Associate Trainers that Have Completed the Train-the-Trainer in Previous
    Calendar Years:

    • You must attend at least 2 Trainer events during each calendar year.
    • If you are in a Recertification year, that training counts as one of your events.
    • TSI offers 6 to 8 webinars per year for you to choose from. We occasionally may
      structure webinars differently but will give advance notice.
    • Your agency pays an annual fee per Trainer to cover webinars.
    • You can attend as many webinars as you like for the same annual fee.
    • There is a separate cost for the Recertification training.

    Trainers must attend a Recertification training every two years. This is a one-day
    training that is offered virtually. There is a separate cost for this training.

    RC Training Resources (materials, videos, training ideas, etc.)

    Certificate Templates 

    RC Agencies can print certificates RC Basic, RC IDD Basic, and RA Basic to give to participants of their agency trainings. We use Google Slides to provide these certificate templates, as it is a great solution that makes sharing – and even automation – of certificates possible.

    Please Note: The templates provided are for you to download to your own Google Drive for use. If we gave you permission to access our template document, any alterations you make to it would be visible to anyone else using the template. Downloading it makes it your own document that only you/your team can access.

    Choose What Works Best for You

    Every agency has its own unique environment, training process, and policies. We’ve given you choices so you can find the strategy that’s best for you.

    Please Note: The Risking Connection logo – and thus the certificate – has changed since these instructional videos at right were made.

     

    Option 1 – Simple and Easy

    For those who train only a few participants at a time or who do not like technological bells and whistles, watch video #1 only. You will fill in the needed information manually for each certificate. You may save each certificate in your Google Drive, download it, or just print it out without saving.

    Option 2 – Technological Wonder

    For those who train many participants per session or who enjoy learning about technological enhancements, watch both videos here on the right. The second video details the use of an add-on called Autocrat, which can greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to make batches of certificates.

    Option 3 – I Can’t Access Google Forms

    Some agencies’ IT systems restrict the use of Google Drive. For those unable to access the Drive, the “Offline Certificates” button below provides you an option. Unfortunately, there is no automated feature for this option.

     

    Certificates:

    Templates last updated with new branding in September 2025.

    The following supplement to the Teaching Manual for Risking Connection, “Teaching Risking Connection with and Anti-Racist Lens,” was developed by a diverse advisory board of RC Trainers and Champions with diverse racial and ethnic identities. It is meant to provide you with options for integrating anti-racism into your teaching of the Risking Connection training. We’d love to hear from you about your experience with it, both via the form below and during the follow-up September 2022 RC Webinar – A Deeper Dive: Building Skills to Teach Risking Connection with an Anti-Racist Lens.

    Child Trauma Screening Free Online Course

    We would like to HIGHLY recommend this resource from the Child Health and Development Institute on screening for trauma. It is comprehensive, well-designed, and can be completed at your own pace. And it’s free! 

    The Child Health and Development Institute (CHDI) provides a bridge to better and more equitable health and behavioral health systems, practices, and policies so that children and their families can thrive. CHDI works in partnership with providers, educators, policymakers, and academic institutions to advance research-based solutions that will result in improved outcomes.

    CHDI’s Trauma ScreenTIME online Infographic highlights the role of screening in helping children who experience trauma.

    The infographic:

    • Includes information on trauma and the effects of trauma on children
    • Answers questions on screening for trauma
    • Explores the benefits of screening
    • Links to an online training courseon how to screen children for trauma

    ScreenTIME training provides staff in child-serving systems with best practices for trauma screening. The goal is to help child-serving staff identify and support children suffering from traumatic stress as early as possible and connect those in need with effective services.

    The core ScreenTIME course is appropriate for staff in all child-serving settings, including, but not limited to: schools, primary pediatric care, early childhood, juvenile justice, child welfare, behavioral health, mobile crisis, care coordination, and residential.

    The course describes best practices in trauma screening and will help you develop a plan for implementing a screening process in your organization or setting. Topics include:

    • Why screen for trauma?
    • Develop a screening process for your organization
    • Selectin g a screening measure
    • How to screen for trauma
    • How do you use the results?

    What are the benefits of the ScreenTIME course?

    • Developed by families and national experts based on best practices
    • Step-by-step practical guidance for doing trauma screening
    • Practical tools for sensitive and accurate screening
    • You can save your progress and complete the course at your own pace
    • APA, NBCC, and NASW CEC/CEU certificates provided upon course completion

    Trauma-Informed Supervision Guide

    We recommend this great resource from the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR): A Guide to Trauma-Informed Supervision: Helping the Helpers. It is designed for victim service/ domestic violence providers, but is equally applicable to all social service providers.

    Includes best practices, definitions and challenges, a Supervisor’s Toolbox for Organizations, and additional resources.
