Building on information provided in Trauma 101, professionals will expand their understanding of trauma and are provided specific skills that enhance abilities to interact in emotionally and relationally healthy ways with people impacted by trauma. As professionals become trauma-aware, they have a responsibility to prevent, avoid, and respond to trauma. In this hands-on, interactive workshop, professionals are provided opportunities to implement and practice skills presented.
In partnership with United Way - Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, the Bucks-Mont Collaborative offers this valuable, practical trauma training. Our presenters come from Lakeside Global Institute (formerly called the Institute for Family Professionals.)
