In Part 2 of this series, participants will learn more about trauma and post-traumatic stress. You will:

- gain skills to work with people affected by trauma
- obtain additional resources to use in your work
“It was enlightening to learn about the reactions of the brain to protect a person experiencing trauma -the three F’s. I found the information on vicarious trauma very helpful as I didn’t realize how much this was affecting me.”
