Counselors to Receive Specialized Trauma Training March 23
“Creating Trauma Informed Systems of Care in Mental Health Settings”
DATE: Monday, March 23rd, 2015
TIME: 9:30 – 3:30 p.m. (lunch included)
This workshop will provide critical tools for mental health providers to assess the treatment needs of clients with mental illness presenting with trauma. Diagnosing trauma in adults with mental health disorders can be challenging. Post-traumatic stress disorder assessments and treatment are more complicated for providers who are working with clients with prior mental health disorders. This work shop will review best practice considerations for trauma informed assessments, cultural competency, clinical interventions and resources for providers who work with mentally ill communities.
