Facilitating Post-Traumatic Growth With People We Serve

This webinar will focus on the concept of post-traumatic growth—defined by Tedeschi and Calhoun as “positive psychological change in the wake of struggling with highly challenging life circumstances.” In the context of providing trauma-informed care, we will explore ways to facilitate growth in areas including:

1. Relating to others
2. New possibilities
3. Personal strength
4. Spiritual change
5. Appreciation of life

*Please note: No certificates or CEUs will be available for this free webinar.
