Trauma 201
Understanding Trauma: A Neuroscientific Approach
Trauma impacts individuals in complex and profound ways, influencing their behaviors, emotions, and overall well-being. This training delves into the neuroscience behind trauma, offering insights into how traumatic experiences affect the brain and body. Participants will explore the role of epigenetics in transmitting trauma across generations and learn about the mechanisms of trauma responses, including fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.
The training also highlights the critical concepts of hope and resilience, demonstrating how these factors can mitigate the effects of trauma and promote healing. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how interventions, such as trauma-informed care and therapeutic techniques, can positively influence the recovery process.
Key Topics:
• Neurobiology of trauma: Understanding the brain's response to stress and trauma
• Epigenetics: How trauma can be passed down through generations
• Trauma responses: Exploring the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses
• Hope and resilience: The role of these factors in trauma recovery
• Interventions: Trauma-informed care, therapeutic approaches, and community support
Who Should Attend: This training is ideal for mental health professionals, counselors, social workers, educators, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of trauma and its impact on individuals and communities.
Learning Objectives:
• Gain a foundational understanding of the neuroscience of trauma
• Learn about the role of epigenetics in trauma transmission
• Recognize different trauma responses and their implications
• Explore strategies for fostering hope and resilience in trauma survivors
• Understand the importance of trauma-informed interventions and care
Format: The training will be delivered through a mix of presentation, group discussions, and interactive activities to enhance learning and application of concepts.
Takeaway: Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the neuroscience of trauma and practical strategies for supporting trauma survivors in their journey toward healing and recovery.
