Trauma
- Strategies for Resolving the Impact of Post Traumatic Stress (2 day)

The impact of trauma can be far-reaching and enduring. This workshop provides an overview of the way trauma impacts a person through the brain and nervous system and how it can result in longer term symptoms at physical, psychological and emotional levels. A framework is presented for assisting people to work toward regulating and resolving the impact of trauma. Key strategies and principles are explored that apply to a diverse range of impacts in children, adolescents and adults. Participants will be given an opportunity to understand their own response to working with trauma and how to be better equipped to continue their work in responding to trauma.

This is an introductory-intermediate level workshop intended for social workers, social service and health care professionals, teachers and anyone working with people who have experienced trauma.
