Grief, Loss, and Trauma Training for Therapists

 You’re dedicated to continuing to hone your skills as a practitioner.

Our training programs are led by national experts, professional educators, and practicing psychologists. We recognize that many practitioners receive limited training in the areas of grief, loss, and trauma, and it is our mission to equip you with the skills you want and need to provide safe and effective care for your clients and patients. 

We believe that continuing education should empower you to better serve your clients and feel more confident, competent, and excited about your work.

Treatment of Trauma Exposed Clients

Saturday, August 13, 2022
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM CST

Summary
Responses to traumatic life events are among the most common issues clients bring to therapy, but rapidly evolving post-traumatic stress theory and limited access to formal trauma training may leave therapists feeling insufficiently prepared to work effectively with the unique and complex nature of each client’s trauma-related symptoms and their risk and resilience factors.

This workshop will focus on:

• increasing participants’ awareness of key trauma-related issues;

• helping them identify their clients’ immediate and long-term trauma-related needs;

• and develop safe, practical, evidence-based/evidence-informed treatment approaches, and building creative skills to help clients adjust and thrive.

Participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to work confidently and effectively with trauma-exposed individuals.

Training will be from an evidence-based, evidence-informed, and strengths-based perspective.

This is a level 2/intermediate course: Some basic knowledge of clinical work with trauma survivors is required; this workshop will build on participants’ existing knowledge and assist with application and integration of theoretical concepts and clinical skills.
