Trauma is structured and cleared in layers. It has neurobiological underpinnings that need to be accurately mapped to be successfully treated. During this presentation, participants will learn the structure of trauma and an evidence-based technique from the field of energy psychology for rapidly clearing trauma from the conscious mind, unconscious mind, and body.

The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the behavioral health workforce to learn how to pivot and utilize flexibility when navigating the training and coaching of its workforce. The concept of pivoting intertwines with another relevant clinical skill: resilience. Resilience is defined by the American Psychological Association (APA) as “the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands (APA, 2012).” As a provider, practicing and teaching this skill to individuals in treatment can be beneficial in supporting recovery while also positively impacting the goal of preserving the lives of those touched by opioid use disorder. This presentation will shed light on the message of hope and healing associated with resilience.

Event Details:

Youth and families can experience a crisis for a variety of reasons. Understanding how trauma impacts young people and their families can help us better prevent and respond to escalated situations. This 3-hour interactive workshop will combine lecture, large group discussions, breakout rooms, and other elements to help attendees better understand the connection between a young person’s past traumatic experiences and their behavior in the present, specifically in times of crisis and high stress. Participants will have the opportunity to think through trauma-informed approaches to de-escalation and learn practical tips and strategies they can use to prevent and respond to escalations.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Understand the link between trauma sensitivity to stress and escalated behaviors that can lead to crises

• Identify individual trauma-sensitive and trauma-informed de-escalation practices to utilize with youth, children, and families at different stages of crises

• Discuss prevention and follow up strategies that can help to reduce the likelihood of crises developing.
