About this Webinar
Using a trauma informed approach is often described as moving away from asking the question “what is wrong with you?” to asking “what happened to you?” This training series will support participants in understanding the prevalence of trauma and it’s impact on the health and well being of survivors when it is not recognized and treated. It will also provide information on how they can support survivors by providing empowering interventions that support resilience. The concept of vicarious trauma will also be addressed.
