Tammy Blackard Cook, LCSW  | 1.5 CEs
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Brain Based: Discover the Neurobiology of
Trauma & Trauma Treatment 2.0 |3.0 CEs
SUMMARY: Data suggests that the experience of trauma or adversity is prevalent in children and adults. Research also suggests that trauma has an adverse impact on the brain, influencing the development of behavioral and physical health issues, including mental illness. Due to the pervasiveness of trauma, it is paramount that clinicians have an understanding of what trauma is, how to identify it, and how it impacts the brain as well as the individual's ability to function. In addition, clinicians will benefit from learning different interventions that can facilitate positive trauma resolution, and how some of those interventions work within the brain to aid in the healing process.
  • Learn how to define and identify trauma
  • Learn how trauma impacts the brain and an individual's ability to function
  • Learn about important research on trauma and resources that can be applied in your clinical practice
Engaging Our Communities to
Prevent Sexual Assault | 1.0 CEs
SUMMARY: There are advantages to involving communities in ending violence, including sexual violence. This session will discuss the overall improvements that may be achieved in communities by looking at different segments of communities that are often overlooked as potential prevention collaborative partners.
  • Learn how to develop working relationships with community "Gate Keepers"
  • Develop ways to improve community contentedness to help prevent sexual violence
  • Discuss how to include racial equity while providing prevention strategies
You Matter Too: Transformational Self-Care for the Mental Health Professional | 1.5 CEs
SUMMARY: Research indicates that a self-care plan can be used as a clinical intervention to enhance health and wellbeing and manage stress. Although implemented in our sessions, competing priorities and a professional culture that often results in limited time for self can create a barrier to practicing a healthy self-care regimen for mental health professionals. Without healthy self-care, mental health professionals may experience compassion fatigue, which further limits our capacity to assist clients.
  • Define an innovative method of self-care referred to as C.R.I.
  • Explore how the C.R.I. method can be used to support intentional and active self-care practice
  • Identify activities and practices that support wellbeing as mental health professionals
  • Create a personal self-care plan to sustain positive self-care in the long term
Reconnect for Resilience: A Public Health Approach to Staying Well in the Face of Stress & Trauma 1.5 CEs
SUMMARY: The Reconnect for Resilience (RfR) curriculum helps community service providers (school, behavioral health, medical, justice, faith), as well as the people they serve, in their understanding of the forces in their communities that contribute to high levels of unaddressed trauma. When trauma is understood and resiliency tools are introduced and practiced, society can begin to move from punishing and isolating people for their trauma to empowering and educating them about their nervous systems, teaching self-regulation tools, and providing supportive relationships.
  • Learn about the nature of trauma and its biological effect on the brain and the nervous system
  • Learn at least two nervous system stabilization tools that participants can use to self-regulate, restore self-compassion, and re-connect to others
  • Learn at least one skill around empathy and how to connect with others
