Course Overview
This 2-day essential workshop is designed to provide helping professionals an understanding of the definition of "trauma" in our local Singapore context and how trauma can impact life and health throughout the lifespan. We will discuss the elements of trauma informed care and how this approach will be useful in our practice with seemingly "challenging" and "resistant' clients we see in our community or various counselling spaces. We will also be discussing how we integrate leading and latest treatment methods such as Mindfulness, Somatic and Narrative modalities into a pragmatic approach of practice namely "Release, Regulate and Restore". In addition, participants will focus on using practical strategies in small group practice case discussions.
