This workshop is designed for a range of professionals who work with survivors of trauma and will cover the different areas of the brain that are affected by traumatic and stressful situations. This workshop will describe how adverse childhood experiences can disrupt neurobiological development that can affect functioning throughout the lifespan. The training will specifically address the different survival responses that individuals experience when assaulted or victimized including: the functions of brain areas that are involved in responding to traumatic events, how the brain and body respond to traumatic events, the influence of traumatic events on memory processes, and common emotional and behavioral responses to trauma when traumatized children or adults go into survival mode. The workshop will assist mental health professionals and others to better understand victim responses and how to effectively work with them in various roles.
