This five-day training explores trauma’s emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual impacts. Beginning with how trauma affects the brain and nervous system, you’ll explore a framework for managing and resolving trauma, along with valuable strategies for trauma counselling.

You will learn to establish safety, manage flashbacks, heal through holistic body-oriented strategies, and promote resilience and post-traumatic growth. The last day of the program will be an integrative experience where you will examine your own experiences of vicarious trauma, so you can develop a personalized coping plan. The last day will also have opportunities to apply what you’ve learned to a variety of complex case studies.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  • Identify key symptoms of trauma, including PTSD
  • Define the helper’s role in supporting trauma survivors
  • Identify principles of body-based counselling approaches, including present awareness, resourcing, and self-regulation
  • Develop support plans to help clients prepare for trauma processing and build affect and sensation tolerance
  • Identify key vulnerabilities and strengths in your practice, and develop strategies to transform vicarious impact into resilience

Trainer: Heather Woodward

MSW-IK, RSW

Heather holds a Master of Social work degree based in Indigenous Knowledges and is a Registered Social Worker with nearly 25 years of experience in the helping field. She has spent much of her time working directly with children, youth, and families. In the first half of her career, Heather’s passion was working with youth of all genders (ages 11-24) that have been impacted by violence, sometimes with gang involvements, all forms of trauma (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual), addictions, mental health, and with individuals living with a FASD. More recently, she has pivoted her focus, and her passion has become wholistic wellness for helping professionals. She believes that even in the thick of trauma and/or crisis, people can use relationships and laughter to work through these critical moments. Heather values the lives and stories of everyone she has the honour of meeting and walking with on their life path. She is an energetic and engaging facilitator who strives to find ways to build connections and relationships with everyone. Read blogs written by Heather here.
