The trainer for this session is Colette Anderson, LCSW

As we realize just how widespread trauma really is and the impact it has on the lives of those around us it is clear that we need a system with trauma-informed approaches. When Roger Fallot, PhD and Maxine Harris, PhD made the distinction between trauma specific services and trauma-informed care people began to view the world in a different way.

This workshop is designed to give the basic cultural changes that occur when viewing our environment through a trauma lens. It will take the participant through a trauma-informed frame work and apply it to the settings and environments where we do our work. Tools for assessing the environment will be explored and participants will learn ways to involve consumers as they work together to change the spaces were recovery happens.
