Learning Objectives:

This workshop will provide participants with tools, knowledge, and some expertise on how to assist clients with trauma and understand how trauma impacts the healing process. Research supports that knowledge of Trauma Informed Practice (TIP) is critical to helping clients move through barriers to healing. The Level 1 training includes how embodied emotion and trauma memory is stored in the body and ways it can be released. The workshop provides both didactic and experiential exercises to facilitate deeper integration of knowledge.

Upon completion, learners will be able to:

• Understand the ways in which trauma impacts the body
• Describe the human social engagement/ communication system and its relevance and significance for TIP
• Assess how well therapeutic models and/or interventions align with the principles of TIP
• Describe the window of tolerance and recognize the signs associated with states of hyper- and hypo-arousal
• Identify signs and symptoms of trauma
• Create safety for clients
