Description

This training program focuses on the intersection of trauma, addiction, and mental health treatment and maintaining a safe, supportive, and effective group environment. Designed for mental health professionals, it explores the psychological and behavioral aspects of trauma and their influence on treatment, including treatment engagement. We will introduce the therapeutic interventions ‘Seeking Safety’, ‘Integrating DBT with the Twelve Steps’, and the Post Traumatic Stress Index (PTSI) in clinical settings. Participants will learn about the principles, techniques, and application of these models in treating clients with trauma and addiction issues. Emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the training prepares participants to facilitate group therapy effectively using these modalities. Participants will gain a better understanding of group dynamics and learn to set appropriate therapeutic goals and manage diverse client needs within a group setting.
