TRAUMA TRAINING Cheri Lovre, Director of Crisis Management Institute, will provide training in responding to psychological trauma. Participants can attend either the first day or both days (Day One attendance is a requirement for attending Day Two). Day One covers the biophysiology and the changes in brain function for those who are unexpectedly on the scene of traumatic events. Day Two is a skill-building session on intervention strategies for use with individuals or groups. It is an effective alternative to Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) or debriefing. This model of intervention is specifically designed for use with victims, bystanders, and survivors of traumatic events, not for emergency responders (for whom debriefing and CISM was designed and is appropriate). This training is helpful for all who deal with survivors in the immediate aftermath of traumatic events -- car wrecks, natural disasters, school shootings -- any event that is likely to leave survivors vulnerable to developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
