Trauma Training
Psychological First Aid & Post Traumatic Stress Management (PFA &PTSM) is a crisis intervention model that gives service providers practical and adaptable skills they can use in their everyday practice, community work and emergency response.
This training will provide participants with the skills to offer custom interventions for groups who have experienced incident specific traumas such as school or community violence & suicides; or long-term trauma such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Psychological First Aid is used in the recent aftermath of an incident. it can also be utilized in everyday practice as it’s designed to reduce the initial distress caused by traumatic events, and to foster short- and long-term adaptive functioning.
Post Traumatic Stress Management offer participants the skills to identify, stabilize & augment psychosocial inventions & resiliency building techniques through restorative & holistic methods like grounding and mindfulness.
Employees now face stress, grief, trauma, and loss in closer proximity for longer durations. These interventions equip employees with space and energy to return to stressful situations and gives service providers practical and adaptable skills to use in their everyday practice.
