In recent years, treatment centers have focused on creating trauma informed settings by integrating safety protocols and avoiding re-traumatization in service delivery. The emergence of COVID-19 as a pandemic has increased rates of trauma and stress in our communities to levels that most of us have not experienced. Still, providers need to be equipped to address the traumatic impact of the current environment. This training will look at some of the basics of trauma, as well as some of the effects of COVID-19 on trauma and look at ways to heal.

Credits: This training series meets the requirements for 3 renewal hours (CASAC, CPP, CPS) and 3 initial hours (CPP, CPS) through New York State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (NYS OASAS). All participants are required to attend the ENTIRE training, turn on their video cameras and to actively participate in order to receive a certificate of completion.
