Summary
This workshop is designed to teach participants the components of the Adults in Trauma Individual and Group Program, including the overt and underlying aspects of safety and control built into each session, the specifics of implementation, and common participant reactions. The training will begin with a brief overview of trauma, its causes, and normal reactions to trauma. The majority of the training is focuses on the components of the Adults in Trauma Program. Participants will learn how the sessions incorporate cognitive, emotional, and sensory aspects produced by trauma. During our time together, we will focus on components of the Adults in Trauma Program curriculum. We will begin be identifying a different role for individual assessment during counseling, and the importance of that that role, which is key to the implementation of future sessions. Building upon the assessment process, participants will learn how sessions can incorporate cognitive, emotional, and sensory aspects that are produced by trauma events to safely transition an individual from a victim, to a survivor, to a thriving individual.
Goals of Training:
- Understand the components of the Adults in Trauma intervention
- Understand how to assist participants in moving through these sessions
- Identify how to build safety and control into all aspects of the program with participants
- Understand how to facilitate the group process to enable participants to understand, normalize, and navigate the effects of the trauma they have experienced
- Understand how supporting themselves can help aid in supporting other group members
