This event is closed as we have reached capacity. This workshop offers foundational trauma knowledge for clinicians, educators, and administrators who are interested in learning about evidence-based trauma treatments and/or trauma-informed care. It highlights ways to share trauma theory with family members and across systems (e.g. schools, child welfare workers, mental health, medical practitioners, police) as we work jointly to lessen the impact of trauma exposure.

This workshop offers foundational trauma knowledge for clinicians learning evidence-based trauma treatments and highlights ways to share trauma theory with family members and across systems (e.g. schools, child welfare workers, mental health, medical practitioners, police) as we work jointly to lessen the impact of trauma exposure.
