Advancing Trauma Informed Skills and Practices will give participants the opportunity to gain advanced understanding of the skills and strategies of working with traumatized clients, while also addressing questions about secondary trauma and self-care.

Participants will travel on a macro to micro level journey to discover what they need to better serve their clients and also help themselves by developing effective self-care strategies. The session will incorporate core concepts for understanding and treating trauma and, skills of reflective, evidence-based practices.
