ACEs and Complex (Developmental) Trauma in Children

ID: 5661WEB

Formerly titled: Complex Trauma in Children. This is a two-part webinar that provides an overview of the concept of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the historical and contextual risk factors that set the stage for ACE’s, and the potential lifelong impact of ACEs. Complex Trauma has only recently been added to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and such trauma in children is often the result of multiple ACEs and toxic stress. There is a large literature on Developmental Trauma Disorder, the consequence ACEs and complex trauma in young children, but this has not yet been included in any diagnostic system. The lack of recognition of this condition is addressed, along with developing treatment models.

Ethics of Trauma

ID: 5853WEB

Formerly 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: 5235WEB

The 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.
