We thank everyone who was in attendance for the workshop. Marilyn did an outstanding job putting this presentation together. The biggest takeaway for DE BEST was, you were all able to have an interactive workshop experience where many great conversations were discussed. Being able to identify trauma and retraumatization is crucial for appropriate support. We want all of our volunteers to be equipped to support our community with a trauma informed approach.
Trauma is a concern throughout our community, and volunteers specifically requested that we focus a training surrounding it. This workshop will provide you with tools and interactive skill-building surrounding how to handle trauma.
Marilyn is renowned for trauma informed training as a professor at Wilmington University. She gladly volunteered her time to develop and present this training for us,
Recap/Goals for this Workshop
DE BEST volunteers will enhance their use of the model of Psychological First Aid by expanding their capacity to be Trauma Aware and use the trauma-informed approach. Becoming more trauma aware will provide DE BEST volunteers with thought provoking questions about how to approach interactions with others based on the complexity of trauma and how it impacts responses to stressful situations. Volunteers will learn how a TIA helps to build resilience, with individuals and families we help, and with one another, as DE BEST volunteers.
Objectives:
- Acquire new knowledge about trauma and ACES and the TIA.
- Gain confidence about building resilience, within ourselves, and with others, in crisis.
- Apply TIA Principles to situations encountered by DE BEST Volunteers.
Hopefully your takeaway from this workshop was knowledgeable and you will feel confident handling trauma incidents in the future. Please check out our pictures captured below from workshop!
