0007 - Understanding Trauma and Crisis Response

Course Description

Examine a broad range of approaches to crisis responses with trauma survivors. Explore providers preconceived thoughts, behaviors, and internal responses to trauma issues, including language used to describe trauma responses. From there, look at the trauma response itself: ways persons with trauma cope with both the initial trauma and systems of coping they use to navigate life with the ongoing fear of being re-traumatized. Next, examine creating responses that provide for a different experience, both for the survivor and the mental health provider. Discuss both tools and approaches that may be helpful and areas or responses to avoid. Understanding mental health recovery and the role of crisis response in trauma recovery will be an important theme throughout this seminar.
