Grief: the Flip Side of the Trauma Informed Care Coin

August 23, 2023 11:00AM - 12:00PM 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST.

Online Webinar


This session will highlight the full definition of trauma beyond ACEs. We will also explore trauma as a loss event and look at how grief shows up and is the normal and natural emotional response to a traumatic event. Research has shown that clients who use substances, or are in recovery programming, have significant grief due to years of accumulating loss experiences. This session will introduce participants to a holistic approach to self discovery and grief recovery.
