Introduction to Trauma

The Introduction to Trauma training aims to assist clinicians in understanding how childhood trauma and trauma across the lifespan creates emotional and psychological deficits. The approach is to identify the trauma events that have taken place in a person’s life so that clinician and client can work to resolve these events and the defensive responses clients exhibit in response to these events.

The population that will be chosen as a priority for this training would be qualified behavioral health providers who serve Medicaid-insured individuals, are licensed (or actively working towards licensure) in Louisiana, and are actively treating children and their caregivers.
