Hopeful Conversations: Solution-Focused Trauma Treatment w/ Adults & Teens

This one-day interactive workshop will address trauma recovery, hope, and resilience in teens and adults. Participants will leave with practical, solution-focused strategies for managing flashbacks, triggers, and post-trauma responses. By inviting clients to expand the traumatic event to include helpful responses and strategies, we expose new, valuable information to reflect on or flashback on. In addition to the difficult realities our clients may be facing, we must steadfastly remember that they also have ways they are coping, strengths that are useful, and hobbies through which they may experience relief. Learning about our whole client allows us to identify and utilize strengths we might not otherwise know about. Discussion, videotape examples, and resource sharing will make this collaborative workshop the place to be for talking about the when, if, and how of effective solution-focused conversations and trauma.
