Endurance in life, work, and client service starts with you. From a trauma-informed perspective, this is an opportunity for you to put your oxygen mask on first, harness the power of the nervous system as a self-care tool, build upon your strengths, and reflect on where you might want to improve. This three-hour presentation also offers space to voluntarily and mindfully practice regulation tools that benefit you and your clients by enhancing the mind-body connection. 

Meet your clients where they are and use MI to explore meaningful ways to collaborate and support your clients and promote change.

Trauma can change the way you think about yourself, the world, and your relationship with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is easily accessible, time-limited, and has proven effectiveness for a wide range of common pressing issues. Yet, many clinicians are unsure how to best apply CBT techniques with those that have experienced trauma. With growing awareness of the prevalence and impact of trauma across populations, the need for trauma-informed CBT approaches is clear.

The introductory DBT workshop is presented in three segments to provide an overview of the core DBT principles that improve client' safety and their emotional and behavioral control. Daily emphasis is placed on understanding and practicing a DBT specific clinical approach and the skills within the Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance modules.
