Webinar Objectives:
- Gaining a broader understanding of the behavioral and interpersonal challenges experienced by trauma survivors
- Examining how our perceptions of and responses to these behaviors can be re-traumatizing
- Best practices in being responsive to behavioral trauma vulnerabilities
Description:
The second of a four-part series on what it means to be trauma informed, this presentation focuses on understanding seemingly adverse behaviors as trauma vulnerabilities or coping strategies intended to keep an individual safe. Many clients in the corrections system or involuntary clients in varied human services systems are also trauma survivors. Consequently, to most effectively intervene with our clients it is imperative to view their interpersonal and behavioral struggles through a trauma informed lens. This presentation will further explore best practices in being responsive to trauma vulnerabilities offering practical, hands on approaches in working with clients who have experienced trauma.
