During this training, attendees will hear about trauma as it relates to substance use, a brief overview of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), the impact trauma can have on children which could carry on throughout their lives, and how trauma affects the individual but is also a community issue. Attendees will learn about re-traumatization, some common signs and symptoms of re-traumatization or having a trauma reaction, and goals for community work.
Anyone is welcome to attend, but there will be a discussion of trauma which may trigger some individuals who have experienced trauma or who have other mental health issues in their lives. For more information, please email Erica Wiley, LCSW, MPS, at ewiley@prevented.org.
