This workshop will explore the nature, dynamics and risks of complex trauma and vicarious trauma. This presentation will increase the participant’s ability to look through a trauma-informed lens and see how exposure to trauma and repeated, chronic adverse experiences leads to the activation of the body’s acute stress response system that may cause significant emotional distress and functioning challenges. This training, informed by current research, provides participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools to better recognize the early signs of complex and vicarious trauma and intervene accordingly in order to foster possibilities for post-traumatic growth and vicarious resilience.

For questions about registration and continuing education, please contact Kyla Smith at KylaS@CarePlusNJ.org or (201) 265-8200 ext. 5228.
