Trauma-Informed Systems Change: Online Workshops for Professionals (Mar 04, 2024)

Trauma-Informed Systems Change: Online Workshops for Professionals is organized by McLean Hospital and will be held on Mar 04, 2024.

Description:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 61% of adults have had at least one adverse childhood experience. These traumatic experiences increase the risk for chronic physical and mental health conditions, sometimes leading to serious health and personal challenges.

Becoming a trauma-informed individual, organization, and society lowers stress levels and the risk of disease stress while supporting global well-being and promoting healing.

With this in mind, McLean Hospital’s Institute for Trauma-Informed Systems Change brings together the latest updates in neuroscience, trauma, and trauma-informed practices to offer training in trauma-informed practices and approaches, brain development, neuroscience of fear and trauma, and trauma-informed systems change.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Explore brain development as a means of understanding human behavior
• Describe the neurobiology of fear and its connection to trauma
• Identify the neurobiology of PTSD
• Explain racial trauma in the context of PTSD
• Describe the impact of chronic exposure to the suffering of others on the psyche and physical health
• Explain how to identify trauma in a system
• Discuss the importance of creating safety for individuals that the systems seek to serve and members of any given system
• Explain how to apply a trauma-informed lens to practices, policies, procedures, and narrative
• Demonstrate a keen awareness of the pervasive and deleterious impact of trauma and how to effectively address it
