Trauma-Informed Practice in Title IX:

Maintaining Neutrality, Credibility, and Due Process

Live Virtual Training

March 31, 2026 | 1:00–3:00 PM (Central Time)

Trauma-informed practice is increasingly expected in Title IX and civil rights investigations, yet many professionals struggle with how to apply these principles without compromising neutrality, evidentiary evaluation, or due process.

This interactive training provides a practical and legally grounded framework for integrating trauma-informed practices into investigative work while maintaining fairness and credibility assessments that withstand scrutiny.

Participants will explore how trauma may influence memory, communication, and behavior, while also learning how investigators must avoid equating emotional presentation with credibility or responsibility.
