Description

Complete this workshop and learn new clinical skills, interventions, and principles to help your clients cope with the challenges of recovering from trauma. Throughout the workshop trauma specialist, Michael S. Prokop, will discuss and integrate the “active ingredients” for “healing trauma” as they are utilized within the Three Stage Consensus Model. Attend and be able to:

  • Use dozens of practical assessment, diagnosis and intervention strategies
  • Effectively work with children, adolescents and adults dealing with trauma issues
  • Implement multisensory interventions to treat the whole person

You will be able to implement evidence-based treatment protocols for establishing safety, desensitizing and reprocessing trauma memories, as well as, resolving/reprocessing complicated grief.
