Beyond the Individual: A Community Beset by Racial Trauma
ID: 5840WEBThe COVID-19 pandemic undeniably exposed endemic vulnerabilities within the black community resulting from centuries of systemic oppression. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study is a landmark public health study that expanded our understanding of trauma and its impact, yet still falls short of elucidating the disparate impact of trauma and how it effects entire communities. With racial trauma as a central focus, this workshop will augment your understanding of trauma, beyond the level of the individual, toward an understanding of how it manifests in a community. This webinar will advance a framework for understanding racially influenced community trauma, its drivers, and its consequences. As well as offering treatment considerations for clinical practice.

Ethics of Trauma
ID: 5853WEBFormerly titled: Ethics of Trauma and Disaster Response: Doing Right, Doing Good. Trauma, by definition, is unbearable and intolerable. It affects not only those who are directly exposed to it, but also those who are exposed to it vicariously. Trauma treatment challenges the traditional role of clinicians and presents a variety of pitfalls that can create ethical dilemmas. This webinar offers participants a framework for dealing with the overwhelming ethical challenges of trauma treatment. The definitions and prevalence of trauma and PTSD are introduced and the basic principles of trauma informed care are reviewed. Using these as a foundation, participants are then introduced to the principles of trauma informed ethical practice and the unique ethical considerations in trauma treatment. Vicarious traumatization and the importance of self-care are reviewed. The webinar concludes with a “roadmap” that clinicians can apply to the “overwhelm”, to assist in integrating all of the pieces of the trauma puzzle and to guide them on their journey as they embark on the important work of providing trauma treatment. Opportunities to apply the principles and steps of the roadmap will be offered. [Required for Trauma Response & Crisis Intervention Certificate Program]

The Neurobiology of Trauma/PTSD
ID: 5235WEBThe overall goal of this webinar is for practitioners to understand that the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not merely a psychosocial phenomenon and to be better able to provide treatment interventions based on changes in the nervous system. PTSD has been found to be prevalent, but it is important to study PTSD to understand why some individuals develop the disorder and others, also exposed to specific traumatic events, do not. Studying the symptomology of PTSD, as it relates to possible neural mechanisms, may provide some insight toward answering these questions. By the end of this webinar, you will be able to: list the three general categories of symptoms exhibited by individuals with PTSD; describe the role of the limbic system in the production of memory dysfunction in traumatized individuals; understand how the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are involved in the fight or flight response; and the benefits and side-effects of the most common pharmacological agents used to treat PTSD/Trauma.

The Therapeutic Dance: Keeping One Eye on the Client and One Eye on Ourselves
ID: 1015WEBIn these unprecedented times, it is more important than ever to become aware of how our own experiences and traumas affect our relationships with clients. This webinar will provide a review of attachment theory and the prevalence of traumatic transference when working with trauma survivors. Participants will have the opportunity to examine how their own attachment style affects their approach with clients. The concepts of transference and countertransference, collisions and collusions are presented including red flags that participants can look out for to avoid inappropriate boundary crossings and other behaviors that are detrimental to the therapeutic relationship. When we do not care for ourselves or keep an eye on the therapeutic dance with clients, the likelihood of burnout, vicarious traumatization and empathic strain are real dangers for the health and well -being of the helper and the therapeutic relationship.
