Healing Through Recreational Therapy: How We Can Have an Impact on the Trauma Brain
Monday, September 16, 2019 at 3:30 PM–5:00 PM PDT
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)
This workshop introduces participants to the basics of trauma, and explores the components of adolescent development and trauma symptomology. As trauma becomes more prevalent in our daily lives and practices, it is important for professionals to have a clear foundation of trauma. Furthermore, as facilities move towards offering trauma centered programs, it is crucial to understand how the Recreational Therapy profession fits into that framework in order to adequately treat trauma. This session will explore the behavioral impacts of trauma on the brain, as well as identify practical knowledge for Recreational Therapists to use to intervene and address the effects of trauma.
