Trauma Informed Care Pre-Conference

Trauma/Complex trauma is at the forefront of an emerging awareness within the human service communities. As we learn more of the impact of the myriad experiences of trauma on our clients, we need to be able to recognize its various forms, the effects on our clients and strategic interventions to help support people in their healing process. This workshop will afford an opportunity for participants to gain a greater understanding of trauma/complex trauma and how to provide supportive services to their clients.
