"Understanding the Effects of Trauma on the Lives of Those We Serve"
SAMSHA's National Center for Trauma Informed Care promotes trauma-informed practices in the delivery of services to people who have experienced violence and trauma and are seeking support for recovery and healing.  They may or may not have a diagnosis of mental health or substance use disorders, and may experience traumatic impacts from the experiences of violence that have strained social connections in the family, in the workplace, in childrearing, in housing – and that may have led to consequent health problems – all of which need to be addressed in a trauma-integrated manner.
This presentation will address the widespread impact of trauma in our society, help the audience understand the potential paths for healing and suggest techniques to reduce the likelihood of re-traumatization. Participants will learn what trauma is, how it affects individuals – psychologically, developmentally, and neurobiological. Self-regulation strategies will be explored. 

At the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:
  • Define trauma and discuss its prevalence in society.
  • Explain the effect trauma has on the brain.
  • Discuss four strategies to reduce the likelihood of re-traumatization.
  • Describe two ways trauma affects people developmentally, psychologically and physiologically.
  • Develop two action steps to implement trauma-informed practices in their work.
