"Anyone interested in the current challenges facing our schools and communities in regards to safety needs to listen to what Cheri has to say. She has been involved in the aftermath of both Columbine and 9/11. After listening to what she had to say I can understand why she is called upon when disaster strikes."

Trauma Training (1 day)

Overview:
This is an in-depth look at the complex dimensions of psychological trauma, including how the individual mobilizes to respond to threat and how that bio-physiological mobilization sets the stage for continued re-experiencing of the traumatic experience. When people survive a psychologically overwhelming event, a cluster of symptoms often arise, including flashbacks, a sense of re-experiencing the event, nightmares, hyper arousal, anxiety, irritability and a host of others. This training clarifies the difference between trauma and grief, providing clear direction for interventions specific to addressing the unique challenges of the aftermath of trauma.

Goals:
Participants leave this workshop able to differentiate grief and trauma and understanding the difference in how best to approach work with victims of trauma. This workshop includes conceptual, practical and skill-building segments. The goal is for those who work with victims or survivors to be able to help them manage their symptoms and to put measures in place at the school or workplace that enable people to begin to overcome the disconcerting impact of the event.

Intended audience:
Participants for this workshop most often include counselors, psychologists, nurses and
others in the helping professions. Although this is fairly clinical content, it is easily grasped by those outside the counseling or psychology field and is very relevant for administrators, teachers, and others who work with youth or any victims of trauma. Content can be amended to be more specific to the needs of administrators and others.

Content:
Some of the areas covered include the biochemistry of the fight-or-flight response, effects of mobilization of this biochemistry in the body and brain, symptoms of trauma, helpful techniques in working with individuals, groups or organizations, including stabilizing the environment in the aftermath of a catastrophic event.

Prerequisites: None.
