Understanding Trauma Responses: Tools and Strategies for Supporting Clients

CE Hours 2

About this course

Transform your clinical practice and improve outcomes with complex cases by understanding trauma responses. Trauma has a profound impact on our clients, and a comprehensive understanding of the ways in which trauma manifests is essential. This engaging continuing education workshop offers participants practical skills and knowledge to support clients who have experienced trauma. Through a combination of lecture, case studies, and interactive activities, participants will learn about trauma responses, including the fawn, freeze, faint, flight, and fight and how to identify them in clients. Participants will also explore evidence-based strategies for building resilience and promoting healing in clients who have experienced trauma. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the tools and strategies to help their clients navigate trauma responses and work towards building a sense of safety, trust, and resilience. Handout included.
