Webinar Description
Being trauma-informed is essential to being an effective helping professional. This training is best suited for beginner and intermediate mental health professionals, practitioners, licensed and pre-licensed therapists, graduate students in training, and life or wellness coaches who are just entering the realm of working from a trauma-informed perspective, and who would like to learn the basics about working with client victims and survivors of trauma and posttraumatic stress.
My goal for this training is to provide you with new knowledge, awareness, and skills to seamlessly integrate into your existing theoretical framework and approach to helping, counseling, psychotherapy, nursing, advocacy, coaching, and related work. Participants will be able to define trauma and the various types of traumatic events and experiences, develop a deeper understanding of the body's nervous system and threat response, learn the major areas and functions of the brain that are affected by trauma in the short and long-term, and even learn about the effects of traumatic experiences on memory. You will learn and apply the trauma-informed care concepts, tenets, and principles to enhance your current clinical work. Steps for creating a trauma-informed therapeutic environment and integrating the stages of trauma recovery into your clinical framework will also be covered, so that you can not only set the stage for compassionate, effective trauma work, but that you can also assess and respond to where your client is at in their healing journey.
Pulling from the seminal evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies in our field, this training will not only introduce you to the core elements of these effective treatment approaches, but you will also walk away with tangible and fundamental therapeutic interventions to immediately start applying to your clientele. Most importantly, you will reflect on ways to integrate a trauma-informed lens into your theoretical framework and current practice with trauma survivors. You will also learn about the ways hearing about trauma can impact our work as helpers, such as through compassion fatigue or vicarious trauma reactions, so that you can evaluate where you are at and can take steps to minimize, mitigate, or even prevent burnout.
