Do you ever feel like some clients are presenting a puzzle with missing pieces? Traditional approaches might not be enough for those struggling with intense emotions, flashbacks, or avoidance behaviors. This could be a sign of underlying trauma. Led by professional counselor and clinical supervisor Jodi Geis-Crowder , this webinar is designed for busy mental health professionals seeking to elevate their practice skills and become leaders in trauma-informed care. We’ll review recognition of trauma as well as delve deeper to enhance assessment techniques which help to identify the often-subtle presentations of trauma in clients. We’ll discover how cultural beliefs profoundly influence responses to trauma, and discuss effective treatment modalities. Macro practice will also be addressed, exploring ways to become change agents within our systems, identifying and advocating against retraumatizing policies, fostering collaboration with colleagues to build a robust support network for clients and communities. We will also focus on solutions and envisioning a life absent of trauma responses.
