Trauma Informed Practice for Social Workers, Professionals & Caregivers

Community Room – Child Welfare One-Stop Building

People involved in the world of child welfare cannot help but notice the new call to practicing “Trauma Informed Care”.  Such an approach is being written into the language of licensing and certification bodies and is becoming an expectation of professionals and para-professionals alike.  What is trauma informed care and practice? What is expected of those living or working with traumatized children and teens?  

During this workshop we will examine in close detail what makes an experience a “trauma” and how such experiences result in overwhelming emotions and symptomatic behavior that is often puzzling and challenging.  Addressed will be the following topics:

  • Symptoms of PTSD, including fear, anxiety, sexualized behavior, aggressive acting out, processing errors, behavioral problems and learned helplessness
  • Differences between crises and trauma
  • Primary trauma from abuse and neglect
  • Secondary trauma from exposure to domestic violence
  • PTSD and memory problems and how these cause children additional trauma
  • Interventions for treating PTSD and its various manifestations, including therapy and therapeutic parenting
