This updated, highly interactive training sequence is open to community members and professionals interested in or currently supporting people experiencing crisis and other high-stress situations.
People with histories of trauma are likely to have internal and external struggles that can interfere with communication, impede follow-through and generally frustrate those trying to help. In this very interactive workshop for first responders, front-line staff and social service professionals, we cover the impacts of trauma on behavior, learning and communication; trauma-sensitive relationship and rapport building; working with distressed individuals and conflict, and how to support workers in the aftermath of a traumatic event. Our very experienced trainers use scenarios, small groups and practice activities designed to support self-reflection and regulation and to gain skills in assessing and responding to a variety of escalated situations. Participants share and learn tips and techniques they use in their work at great benefit to the whole group.

This expanded training allows more time for participants to apply and practice what they’ve learned.

Participants will identify, learn and practice strategies they can use in their personal and professional lives to support survivors and build resilience. We will provide information and tools to prevent and manage the impacts of exposure to trauma and for promoting safety and wellbeing for caregivers.
