Understanding the impact of crisis and trauma on peoples’ lives and being able to respond in meaningful ways are crucial skills for those working in the helping professions.

This two-day interactive workshop will provide both a conceptual framework and practical skills for assessment and interventions when working with those who have experienced a range of crisis and/or traumatic experiences.

This workshop will leave participants with:

• an understanding of the meaning of crisis and practical crisis intervention skils
• a conceptual framework for understanding trauma
• practical and applicable therapeutic tools for responding to trauma and traumatized individuals
• specific counselling techniques that are proven effective for people with lived trauma experiences
• an understanding of the impact of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, as well as skills to manage the impact of the work on ourselves.
