Fundamentals of Trauma-Informed Care and Recovery

This video course, nearly 9 hours in length, presents the fundamentals of trauma impact, trauma-informed care, and an overview of the path to trauma recovery.

Suitable for anyone in a helping profession, this course is also the prerequisite for the Story-Informed Trauma Training for therapists and others seeking to learn the SITT model and pursue SITT certification.

In our modern, post-COVID-19 pandemic world, trauma-informed care is at the heart of effective clinical care to today’s generations. That’s why we are so pleased to offer training for anyone on the caregiving spectrum. No matter if you are a mental health professional, counselor, pastor, or peer support specialist, trauma is becoming more and more prevalent and shows up so many more of our caring conversations

Even so, few graduate programs provide specific training on working with trauma and its impact. The result is that often the indicators of traumatic experiences and their impact go overlooked, and subsequently, treatment fails to address the real roots of the client’s presenting issues, providing no real lasting change.

This training will give you the fundamental skills and tools you need to ensure your counseling or ministry is effectively trauma-informed.

In this training you will learn:

• Develop a strong trauma-informed foundation for effective trauma recovery.
• Identify what qualifies as a traumatic event.
• Recognize why trauma impacts overall functioning and why clients react to trauma differently.
• Assess trauma in people’s stories and the impact on daily functioning.
• Identify how trauma can lead to PTSD which impacts long-term recovery.
• Outline the ten essential impact areas in trauma recovery.
• Recognize and address transgenerational and epigenetic trauma.
• Identify ways people attempt to resolve trauma in unhealthy ways.
• Develop strategies to help people resolve trauma in healthy ways.
• Discuss why knowing our stories is the best way to healing and recovery.
