This course will give participants the internal tools they need to provide healing spaces and encounters within their public health practice that will motivate their clients and patients to make the changes they want in their lives. Furthermore, participants will gain a larger perspective about the collective trauma that can amplify and worsen trauma in communities and families and how to counteract it and begin to create healing policies and culture at your organization. This training is the beginning of a journey to be trauma-informed and healing centered.
Learning Objectives:
1) Identify individual and collective trauma in your clients
2) Implement stress reducing techniques to regulate you and your client's nervous system
3) Utilize trauma-informed, healing-centered practices and policies in their workplace
