CLASS 1
Trauma Informing the 12 Steps: Empowerment in Substance Use & Addiction Recovery (3 CE Credits)
3 Hours
This class will not be available on recording
Clients living with substance misuse & addiction often have histories of emotional, physical and/or sexual trauma. The 12 Step groups AA and NA are the most widespread and available peer support groups for addiction recovery, though some language of the 12 Steps may be contraindicated for survivors of trauma.
This training provides an introduction to broadened definitions of trauma with examples throughout the lifespan. We will review the key principles of Trauma Informed Care by SAMHSA. Participants will also explore the relationship between unhealed trauma and the development of substance use disorders through an overview of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES). We will analyze language of the 12 steps through a trauma informed lens, offering alternative language options to promote healing empowerment & prevent re-traumatization; Attendees will come away with resources to refer clients seeking peer support alternatives to the 12 steps.
**This Training is Not Affiliated with AA, NA or any 12 Step program or entity**
Trainer: Eryca Kasse, LICSW, Founder, CHOICES in Healing & Recovery
CLASS 2
See My Color – Why Racial Colorblindness is Unethical: An Ethics Training (3 CE Credits – Ethics)
3 Hours
More than 50 years after Dr. King’s speech, racial disparities continue to exist in various systems, including healthcare, education, the criminal justice system and those impacted by poverty. As a counselor, not only is it unrealistic to be racially colorblind, it is dangerous and does more harm than good. If you don’t see my color, you can’t see me. And if you can’t see me how can you empathize with my racial experiences, accept my whole being and validate my perspectives.
