This full day interactive workshop will address trauma recovery, hope, and resilience. Clients have ways they are already coping and useful personal strengths. Capitalizing on client resources contributes to effective, respectful treatment. Participants will leave with practical, solution-focused strategies for managing flashbacks, triggers, and post-trauma responses. In addition to the difficult realities our clients may be facing, we must steadfastly remember that they also have ways they are coping, strengths that are useful, and hobbies through which they may experience relief. Learning about our whole client allows us to identify and utilize strengths we might not otherwise know about.
