Reconnecting Hope to Trauma Treatment & Suicide Prevention
Hope-oriented conversations that invite clients to reflect on personal strengths, abilities, and resources during or after a crisis.
March 31, 2023 @ 9:00 am – 4:30 pm MDT
Hosted in Logan, UT and on Zoom
This full day interactive workshop will address trauma recovery, hope, and resilience. Clients have ways they are already coping and useful personal strengths. Capitalizing on client resources contributes to effective, respectful treatment. Participants will leave with practical, solution-focused strategies for managing flashbacks, triggers, and post-trauma responses.
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.
Key learnings of the workshop:
- Strategies to evoke hope and reasons for living
- Trauma recovery, hope, and resilience in people of all ages
- Practical, solution-focused strategies for managing flashbacks and triggers
- Invite clients to expand the traumatic event to include helpful responses and strategies
Discussion, videotape examples, and resource sharing will make this collaborative workshop the place to be for finding the when and how of eliciting hope while discussing trauma and suicide prevention.
**This workshop includes 2 hours of suicide prevention**
