Course Description:

The purpose of this mini-course is to gain a holistic understanding of the impact of trauma and to acquire general clinical skills in treating traumatic stress.
The effects of trauma and traumatic stress can be profound whether the trauma was a single episode/event, or was
experienced over a period of time. Trauma impacts many components of overall development and health including but not
limited to in the areas of attachment, cognition, emotion regulation, dissociation, and ability to self-regulate and self-soothe. One primary objective of the course is to develop a framework for understanding the way that traumatic events impact people in a multidimensional way. We will draw on knowledge from the fields of attachment, neurobiology, and child development as
well as data from current studies such as the ACE study. Special attention will be given to the way that discriminatory,
intergenerational and systems-level traumas impact individuals. We will examine the classifications of trauma-related disorders in the DSM-5.

Day Two will be held on June 29th.
