In this workshop participants will move beyond a general understanding of trauma and basic trauma-informed model to a more trauma-responsive, resilient approach.
Participants will be able to :
- Describe the impacts of toxic stress and identify the underlying causes of behavioral responses
- Practice elevating the dialogue around trauma to shift the perspective away from a reactive approach to a responsive approach when working with highly traumatized individuals
- Discuss how your clients’ physical responses are ingrained in how they react to and perceive the world
- Describe emotional regulation techniques for clinicians/case managers to teach clients
- Explore resiliency and discuss ways to build client empowerment and coping strategies
