1.5 CEUs Webinar: Learning From Lived Experiences of Trauma, with Amy Ebbeson, LCSW

Wednesday, November 16 (12:00 - 1:30pm EST)

Relational trauma, especially from childhood experiences, is at the root of the majority of mental health issues. American Culture frequently invalidates psychological trauma and its life-long consequences. This program will give a high level overview of the implications of this and offer strategies for social workers seeking to support impacted individuals, including themselves.

• Recognize short- and long-term psychological, cognitive, behavioral, and physical indicators and consequences of psychological trauma.

• Reflect on conditions- cultural, familial, and personal that influence experiences and perceptions of trauma and abuse.

• Identify, evaluate and apply strategies for coping, managing stress, and self-care to improve personal mental health and engagement with others.
