About This Course
The nature of behavioral healthcare requires professionals to bear witness to their clients’ trauma on a daily basis. An understanding of trauma’s potential impacts and how resilience can encourage healing supports professionals’ abilities to provide effective protective services to children and families. It is also essential that professionals understand how this work may impact their own health and well-being. This workshop will assist professionals in recognizing their clients’ trauma and resilience, provide foundational knowledge about trauma’s effects in all areas of life, outline resilience-building approaches and skills, and address the ways vicarious trauma plays a role in this work. This training will also provide some guidance and tools to support trauma-informed care (TIC) in service settings.
