Where:
Chalfant Hall on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University One University Avenue, Bourbonnais, Illinois
Event Description
THE EFFECTS OF TRAUMA are becoming increasingly well
understood and evidence-based practices for treating the impact
of trauma are continually developing. Despite these advancements,
the full impact of trauma and indirect trauma on helping
professionals is only beginning to be explored.
David Strother, director of military services at Signature
Psychiatric Hospital, is one of the professionals leading
this vanguard.
Through his work in the Valor Recovery Program, a 28‑day
intensive program for active military, veterans and first responders,
Mr. Strother is advancing our knowledge of trauma-focused care
to helping professionals in new ways.
THROUGHOUT THIS WORKSHOP, Mr. Strother will provide
insight, examples and exercises designed to help attendees explore
their own vulnerability to trauma and learn how to provide support
to first responders within their community.
