Complex Trauma: From Understanding to Intervention | Social Work Continuing Education

Complex trauma is highly prevalent in many of the populations that we work with, however it is not always well understood, especially since it is not recognized in the DSM. This workshop will address the differences between single event PTSD and complex trauma, the effects of trauma on the brain and on attachment, the role of dissociation in complex trauma, and will provide participants with essential interventions they can begin using immediately.
