Trauma and Resilience Basics

Participants will learn:

• About Adverse Childhood Experiences and the impact on youth and adult mental and physical wellness.

• The upstairs/downstairs brain model and basic interventions for consumers who are in “survival mode.”

• How to respond to the NEED rather than reacting to the BEHAVIOR and create effective responses to promote trauma healing, minimize re-traumatization, and increase positive behaviors.

• To promote self-regulation, positive self-identity, and co-regulation skills

• The Virtuous Cycle, the foundations for building Trauma-Informed Communities, and the collective impact models of resilience that improve population health outcomes
