ADAI Virtual Training: Seeing & Interacting with Trauma – Sept 14 & 21

08/17/2022

ADAI is hosting a 2-day training this September about trauma. REGISTER HERE. The two sessions build on each other and will provide attendees with the opportunity to:

  1. Understand how common trauma is and how to recognize it.
  2. Learn how our own experience and past trauma influence interactions with clients.
  3. Learn skills to interact effectively with people who have experienced trauma.

Participants are encouraged to attend both sessions and are invited to sign up for an optional third session to review skills.
