In addition, this training will focus on the complexities associated with understanding the types of trauma and their impact across the lifespan, including recent research on trauma across various intersections of diversity (e.g., poverty trauma, racial/cultural trauma, immigration trauma etc.). As a result of this training, attendees will obtain a foundational context of all trauma-informed interventions across the evidence-based literature, as well as a toolkit of interventions, strategies, and psychoeducational approaches to meet the needs of their clientele.
