1. 8am Paper Session | Dover ABC, Floor 3
2. 11am Flash Talk Session | Laurel CD, Floor 4
These two presentations share findings from a pilot study evaluating a scalable, trauma-informed training program for coaches delivering WebSTAIR—an online adaptation of STAIR designed to support trauma-exposed populations. Grounded in principles of cultural responsiveness and accessibility, the study explores coach preparedness, fidelity, and participant engagement across diverse settings. Preliminary results suggest that community-based coaching models, when equipped with structured support and flexible training, can expand access to evidence-based care for underserved groups.
