Mental Health Professional Development with Jim Scarpace: Trauma Triggers and Substance Abuse

Learn how to manage unresolved trauma that may cause an individual to have significant problems functioning in society and their community. This presentation focuses on helping practitioners and clinicians to develop an understanding of the different trauma types and their impact on both the psychological and physiological health of a client and the professional’s role in effective referral and trauma treatment. Participants will be introduced to an assessment tool that provides a more detailed evaluation of the client’s “trauma experience” as well as the trauma stages as it relates to Substance Use Disorders. Participants will also learn strategies to reduce Stigma and increase language that supports clients in discussing trauma experiences and its impact on their current struggles. The Juniper Center offers Professional Development Webinars most months of the year. Many are free to attend (CEU's available for feel).
