A Review of Evidence-Based Practices and Optimal Treatment Models of Complex Trauma

ID: 5871WEB

This is a full-day webinar. This webinar will present an overview of single event and complex trauma, including a discussion of different types of traumatic events. The participants will learn about the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder diagnosis and the limitations of this diagnosis for treatment. The impact of trauma on the brain, attachment, and disrupted attachment appear to give us more information about creative and innovative strategies to treat trauma than diagnosis. A brief review of the meaning of evidence based practice and its use in the behavioral health field will be examined. A more in-depth look into treatment models such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Thought Field Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Self-Regulation Competency will be discussed. *Attendees must attend the full day to receive a certificate of completion.

Addressing Vicarious Trauma in Organizations

ID: 5838WEB

The impact of secondary and vicarious trauma on workers who provide services in settings with complex populations is not a new concept. Frequent exposure to the trauma experiences of others increases the risk of vicarious trauma. There has been little organizational focus placed on how to help employees to manage this exposure. Vicarious trauma impacts productivity, work performance, quality of care, turnover, and absenteeism. Leadership can decrease the impact through trauma informed management practices that incorporate policies that address and reduce the impact on workers. This is an investment that is often overlooked by leadership in organizations. This webinar will identify the signs of burnout among workers, leadership, and teams. Policies and practices that can be incorporated by agencies and organizations to mitigate the risk of vicarious and secondary trauma will be presented. A focus will be placed on hiring leadership that has a highly developed sense of self-awareness and can create an environment that supports self-care and wellness. Case presentations that highlight organizational challenges will also be reviewed. [Elective for Trauma & Crisis Intervention Certificate Program]

Beyond the Individual: A Community Beset by Racial Trauma

ID: 5840WEB

The 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.

How to Deal with Trauma Anniversaries: Shootings, Deaths, Suicides, and Pandemics

ID: 4260WEB

This webinar is designed to deal with the reality that traumatic events do not disappear with the passage of time and the original trauma can be retriggered by anniversaries. We need quality ways in which to deal with trauma anniversaries that recognize their power and do not exacerbate the trauma symptoms evoked. This webinar will provide concrete examples of effective strategies for remembering traumas among individuals, families, communities and organizations. The examples will address the reality that anniversaries affect and must be remembered differently among children and adults, those located near and far during and after the original trauma, and those with other intervening trauma triggering experiences. We will also address differences between first anniversaries and those that occur after the passage of time (five years; ten years). Special attention will be paid to how educational institutions and social service organizations can deal with trauma anniversaries.

Individual Treatment Approaches in Working with Trauma

ID: 5858WEB

The decision for someone to seek help, rely on oneself, or do nothing about a problem after a traumatic event is a complicated one.

Looking Through Invisible Borders: A Cross-Cultural Response to Trauma Survivors

ID: 1328WEB

This webinar's scope utilizes a cross cultural perspective in examining, exploring and identifying appropriate clinical strategies in trauma response. Sexual violence is endemic amongst all races, cultures and ethnicities nationally and internationally. Culture, context and identity are inherently woven within a trauma survivors experience as it is within a professional responding to the trauma survivor. Through this workshop we will attempt to understand the trauma experience cross culturally and the use of the professional's sense of self and identity in strategizing appropriate response. This workshop is offered in collaboration with NJ CASA. 3 NJ DVS credits: Intervention Skills [Elective for Violence Against Women & 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.

The Role of Diversity in Trauma Treatment: Overcoming Barriers and Empowering Ethnic Identity

ID: 5852WEB

Trauma treatment requires culturally compassionate and responsive clinical interventions. Culture, race, ethnicity, gender, and other identities play a significant role in how trauma affects not only the individual but their treatment. Other factors such as mental illness and substance abuse will not only influence the outcome but are vital components in understanding the multifaceted issues such as intergenerational trauma. The purpose of this webinar is to explore how diversity plays a role in trauma, provides an overview of intergenerational trauma and the importance of incorporating cultural healing in treatment. This webinar will suffice social and cultural competence in the Trauma Certificate.

The Therapeutic Dance: Keeping One Eye on the Client and One Eye on Ourselves

ID: 1015WEB

In 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.

Working with Trauma: Understanding Vicarious Trauma, Vicarious Resilience, and the Importance of Self-Care

ID: 5851WEB

Trauma affects everyone it touches. Working with trauma survivors and ongoing exposure to traumatic material puts professionals and their supervisors at risk for secondary traumatic stress (vicarious trauma), burnout and compassion fatigue. These are serious occupational hazards that can increase liability and compromise effectiveness with clients as well as the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of the professional. This webinar provides professionals with easy to use, valid and reliable tools for assessing and identifying the signs of vicarious trauma and burnout in their staff and in themselves. The importance of self-care and its relationship with best practice and professional ethics are examined. A variety of physical, emotional, spiritual and recreational self-care techniques that prevent and/or reverse compassion fatigue and burnout are presented and practiced. Participants will leave the webinar with a toolkit of quick, easy and free tools for self-care. [Required for Trauma Response & Crisis Intervention Certificate.
