About the Trauma-Informed Care Online Workshop
Trauma is defined as an experience that overwhelms an individuals capacity to cope. Traumatic experiences occur at any age, and may include experiences such as child abuse and neglect to violence and war. Trauma can interfere with a persons sense of safety, self and self-efficacy as well as the ability to regulate emotions and navigate relationships. For those who have faced multiple traumatic events, repeated experiences of abuse, or prolonged exposure to abuse, trauma is overwhelming and may have a significant impact on living.
This training is dedicated to understanding the impacts of traumatic events and how to best support highly traumatized clients by promoting a climate of awareness, safety, trust, collaboration and control. Learning to be trauma informed also emphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs and symptoms of trauma exposure in the professionals who interact and support highly traumatized individuals and how to promote our own resiliency and self-care.
