Trauma Fundamentals

Saturday, September 24th: 10am - 12pm

The word “trauma” is widely used now and and we want to make sure we are not desensitized to what people are going through -- both on a personal level and because of systemic oppression. We don’t have to be experts in neuroscience or trauma, but having a basic understanding of what it is and how it shows up in the body can be helpful both for yourself and with the people you serve. 

In this two hour workshop, we’ll explore the fundamental concepts of trauma, including the different kinds of trauma, how trauma affects the brain and nervous system and ways it shows up in the body. We’ll learn and practice resourcing techniques to support our nervous systems.
