Course Description
Trauma Informed Care is a treatment framework that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of traumas. The clinical shift is from “what’s wrong with you” to “what happened to you.” This training will introduce the counselor to the concept of trauma-informed care and define ways in which a traditional treatment setting can be modified to increase an individual’s sense of safety within this setting. Participants will learn how to incorporate trauma-informed practices into substance use disorder treatment with diverse populations, such as military veterans, gender specific, people with co-occurring disorders, persons involved in the criminal justice system, etc. Although trauma treatment approaches will be considered, this training will not teach how to do trauma specific treatment.
