September 8th | 2:00 PM | Zoom | Supporting Trauma Survivors

Identifying trauma and effects- This is one of the most vital aspects of support. We must understand what trauma is and how it affects a person’s entire life. By being able to understand and identify how varying degrees of trauma present we can evaluate and adjust how we approach and interact with the victims we serve in order to serve them more effectively.

Supporting victims and survivors is messy and complex. There is no one size fits all. But if you can get a general direction you can individualize for effectiveness. We will discuss the different modalities and approaches to trauma-informed practices that will cultivate the best results.

Implementing self-care involves self-awareness and follow-through. One of the most underdeveloped and least discussed but just as important is self-care when working with populations that have experienced trauma. We must be intentional about caring for ourselves in this work.
