Responding to Trauma (2 days)
 

The impact of trauma is complex and confusing and it affects all people differently.  This workshop provides an overview of many of the relevant themes to consider when working with those impacted by potentially traumatizing experiences.   A brief synopsis of the more common approaches about how to work with those impacted by trauma will be reviewed.  Participants will gain a better understanding of the nature of trauma and be better equipped to continue their work in responding to trauma.
