The Great Lakes MHTTC, in partnership with People Incorporated Training Institute, offers this training for behavioral health professionals in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, and WI. This training is offered in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.
DESCRIPTION
To be effective and efficient, organizations must deliver services that do not inadvertently re-traumatize those receiving support. Becoming trauma informed means adapting practices, policies, physical spaces and more to increase the accessibility and efficacy of service. This is especially important for people who have lived experiences of trauma, including staff. This class helps learners conceptualize the nature of this problem and offers practices that reduce the risk of re-traumatization.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Review impacts of trauma
- Consider the mechanisms of re-traumatization
- Become more mindful of negative messaging and language
- Assess areas of trauma-informed practice using an assessment tool
