Speaker(s):
Presentation: As professionals, we have been trained on how to help others through traumatic situations by using multiple techniques; but how do we ourselves fair in dealing with our personal trauma? Are we as professionals able to apply the same techniques in coping, or do we fail ourselves? Right now, there is a big push in being trauma sensitive. Ultimately, we must cope with trauma or we will be at a loss to help our clients. We experience trauma whether through our work environment or personal lives. Learn how to let go of your own trauma and pick up the pieces to move on.
Objectives:
- Develop a specific trauma coping plan in order to deal with trauma
- Explain how to practice self-care and self-advocacy
- Discuss how to work with clients who have trauma when you have experienced trauma
