Transform Trauma: Neuroscience-based Skills for Healing and Growth
Join us for this reward-eligible webinar, which is part of the monthly series of emotional well-being webinars offered by FEAP and Hoos Well, UVA's award-winning employee well-being program.
This time in history has impacted most everyone as we have collectively experienced trauma with the pandemic. In this workshop, Joyce Camden, LCSW, will provide trauma-based knowledge and skills to move forward from difficult times. Specifically, she will offer an expanded understanding of how the brain in a person who has experienced trauma can have triggers and automatic reactions that restrict their sense of control and empowerment. From that understanding, skills of overriding automatic brain reactions can be developed. And from that process, healing options can increase and life experience can significantly improve.
Learning Objectives
- Increase neurological understanding of trauma effects on the brain.
- Develop awareness of direct skills to override flashbacks.
- Increase skills to promote a more holistic narrative of traumatic life events.
- Expand awareness of possible traumatic effects from the pandemic on self and society.
