This Intermediate level two-day workshop identifies and describes central constructs of trauma-informed theory. From these constructs the central themes and tenets of the S.E.L.F. tool are distilled into four easily understood, easily integrated issues: Safety; Emotions and their Management; Loss and Letting Go; and Future. S.E.L.F., created by the developers of the Sanctuary model, is the means through which complexity is more easily understood and brought to the practice setting to support recovery and resilience.
By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:
