About the Conference
Psychological trauma is a pivotal force that shapes people's mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. Because trauma stems from many events (e.g., violence, abuse, neglect, disaster, war, etc.); nearly every family is impacted in some way. Trauma-informed care provides a new perspective; one in which those providing support and services shift from asking "What is wrong with you?" to "What has happened to you?" This change reduces the blame and shame that some people experience when being labeled with symptoms and diagnoses. It also builds an understanding of how the past impacts the present, which effectively makes the connections that progress toward healing and recovery.
Course Objectives
- Explain the general prevalence, impact, and resulting problems related to psychological trauma
- Compare and contrast traditional psychological services with a trauma-informed paradigm
- Compile basic assessment strategies as the first step to implementing Trauma-Informed Care
