Description

Trauma and addiction affect all levels of human existence. We experience trauma on individual, family, community and global levels. It changes the biology of cells, how we function psychologically and even the cultures we live in.

Dr. Mouton explores how trauma and addiction affect all systemic levels (biology – psychology – family – friends – community – culture – politics – spirituality) and how these systems interact. He will present a modernised, integrative approach to culturally sensitive, trauma-informed biopsychosocial care through case examples. He will link this to treatment interventions and prevention that can be implemented clinically, aligning with the values of and strengthening existing care models.
