ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This program will introduce participants to the concepts and implementation of
trauma informed care. Research and clinical evidence documents that trauma
informed approaches to the delivery of behavioral health services includes an
understanding of trauma and an awareness of the impact it can have across
settings, services, and populations. It involves thinking about trauma in different
ways and altering service practices to create a therapeutic environment that
provides opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control, empowerment, and balance in their lives.
Participants will leave with a deeper awareness of the prevalence and the impact of trauma as well as practical strategies for how to continually move toward being more trauma informed. Examples of trauma screenings and assessments will be provided and participants will have an opportunity to practice
them through role play. Materials and resources will be provided as toolkits for
service implementation. Participants will also discuss secondary trauma and
develop strategies for self-care to prevent burnout.
