Trauma affects many of the clients we serve and is the catalyst for many mental illnesses. Now, our country is faced with a new universal stressor: COVID-19. The pandemic has caused the loss of lives, businesses, and has changed the “normal” way of life for many. The trauma experienced because of COVID-19 has created problems on micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
The first hour of this webinar will explore our current understanding of trauma reactions including polyvagal theory and the work of Bessel van de Kolk. The second hour will apply the ideas discussed to the current trauma experienced as result of COVID-19.
By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- describe the current theories on trauma reactions
- understand how these theories are applicable to the COVID-19 pandemic to micro, mezzo, and macro systems
- apply the information shared to your work with clients
