Enhancing Trauma Awareness – 2088Wi21

Event Phone: 215-583-3630

6-session workshop. Prerequisites: None.

This group meets for six sessions on Fridays from 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM starting March 12 in Philadelphia, PA.

The new research on trauma provides us with startling statistics and critical information about the devastating effects of both simple and complex trauma. Because of the profound effects and implications of trauma, especially in childhood, and the fact that trauma often is trans-generational, it is essential for all family educators to be highly trauma aware and equipped to educate families about the nature of trauma.

Because the information in this course is presented in clear, easily understood, and translated segments, family professionals can more easily share vital trauma information, principles, and practical applications of this information and these principles with their parents/caregivers. This can empower parents and caregivers to greatly lessen or eliminate trauma on their families and to learn ways to intentionally avoid inadvertently re-traumatizing children.

Professionals can become clear and confident that they are providing family environments that are sanctuaries and can effectively employ interactive skills that promote health and healing from trauma.
