POSTPONED until March 2020
This two-day training is designed for service providers, chemical dependency professionals, social workers, students, and community stakeholders who would like to learn best practices for reducing barriers to service provision from both a survivor and service professional standpoint.
At the end of this training, you will have a better understanding of: the origins and impacts of CSE/C; specific methodologies for attending to the short- and long-term needs of survivors of CSE/C; the relationship between CSE/C, trauma, and chemical dependency; practical steps for managing self-care and maintaining appropriate boundaries with your clients and coworkers; models for creating structures that assist in navigating individual, secondary, and organizational trauma within the workplace; and top theories and best practices for enhancing your utilization of a racial and social equity framework that is survivor-centered and trauma-informed.
