Become a Certified Trauma-informed Trainer
Because trauma is at the core of so many hurdles for so many people, Wellpoint Care Network has made Trauma Informed Care central to our work. It’s now an organizational philosophy infused across our entire continuum of care — with empirical results.
Since 2008, we’ve trained more than 80,000 individuals in the Seven Essential Ingredients (7ei) of Trauma Informed Care framework nationwide. And to spread the reach even farther, we soon began to offer our Train the Trainer course to ensure our cutting-edge concepts, activities and trauma-informed resources could always be available to those who need them most.
What is Train the Trainer?
Successful completion of one of Wellpoint Care Network’s Train the Trainer courses certifies individuals to train the 7ei model at their organization. Each two-year certification includes:
- A four-day learning session led by expert Wellpoint Care Network training staff (in-person, virtual and hybrid sessions available).
- Individualized coaching opportunities to help you deliver the content most effectively.
- The ability to provide ongoing professional development to current and new staff at their named entity (facility, agency, school district or consortium).
- Online Access to our Virtual Trainer Community for the most up-to-date training materials, handouts and presentations.
- Monthly Virtual Office Hours to answer your questions and meet other trainers.

Empowering Survivors: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Defense Training
For Andrea and Lonnie Person, trauma-informed training is a passion project. Andrea is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence. Her husband Lonnie, rescued as a child from war-ravaged Vietnam, has lived his life understanding the impact of historical and generational trauma.
Together, the Loveland, Colorado couple has been empowering survivors of sexual and domestic violence through trauma-informed defense training at their gym, Cor Defense. And, they’re using principles and practices they learned at Wellpoint Care to do it.
“A lot of the Trauma Informed Care training […] wouldn’t talk a lot about the application of it, the practical things that you can do, the tangible takeaways to make an environment feel trauma-informed,” says Andrea. Wellpoint Care Network’s approach was different. “It’s just so comprehensive, and I was able to really apply it to what we’re doing. This training empowered us and gave us more creativity.”
