Description
Working with families and individuals where there has been trauma, especially intergenerationally, presents complex challenges that require more than what any one framework or approach can provide. This workshop offers a number of theoretical frameworks that can be integrated in a way that is potentially useful in this area. These include systems theory, neurophysiology, Attachment theory (adult and child applications) and Internal Family Systems therapy. The important features of each of these frameworks will be presented and then integrated into an approach for trauma informed assessment and intervention, incorporating principles from a "single session" approach to service delivery. Consideration will be given to how to manage issues such as substance abuse and family violence that can frequently accompany trauma presentations in individuals and families, and also to how to build resilience even when risk issues have not been fully resolved. The workshop will include didactic and practical components to build integration of theory and skill.This event will cover:
- Articulate important and useful features of a systems approach, trauma related neurophysiology
- Articulate how to obtain a mandate for trauma informed work with individuals and families
- Create and maintain engagement with clients while addressing difficult issues
- Take a history and genogram as part of an overall assessment integrating the above frameworks
- Utilise principles of a "single session" approach to service delivery
- Develop appropriate individual and family interventions based on the trauma informed assessment
