The Certificate in Trauma Counselling program is designed for

experienced front-line workers (nurses, clergy, social workers,

residential workers, addiction counsellors) who provide short-term

(non psychotherapy) counselling contact with vulnerable

populations in community-based settings such as hospitals,

schools, community health centres, sexual assault centres, battered

women’s shelters, homeless shelters, addiction services, crisis

phone lines, ACT teams and short-term mental health centres.

The trauma issues experienced by clients/consumers

may include: early childhood trauma (emotional/physical/

sexual), violent crime (rape, domestic violence), work related trauma (assaults, sudden death, industrial accidents), motor vehicle accidents and chronic and terminal illness.

Participants will be given the most current information on the biopsychosocial phenomenon of trauma, and training in how to assess and respond ethically and appropriately to clients, given the parameters of the workplace. We will also examine how workers and organizations are affected by and respond to working with traumatized individuals and develop approaches to work that enhance personal and professional resilience.

Working with human suffering on a daily basis and being sensitive to

the despair, frustration and fear embodied in our clients does have an

impact on us as workers. In order to be effective in our work we need

to be grounded, hopeful and focused. In this session we will discuss

strategies for enhancing and maintaining our capacity to be a

conscious and resilient professional.

You will learn

• Grounding, metabolizing and containment techniques to assist

in facing, tolerating and being with human suffering

Recent years have seen advances in the treatment of intra-familial trauma. Yet, surprisingly little has focused on specific intervention strategies to help the traumatized individual who is avoidant of attachment. Many of our clients cope with traumatic attachment experiences by minimizing painful feelings, by becoming emotionally distant, and by devaluing interpersonal closeness, intimacy, and feelings of vulnerability. With individuals who adopt a self-protective, help-rejecting stance, psychotherapy can prove very challenging for client and therapist alike.

Dr. Muller will focus on therapeutic techniques he has developed specifically for this population, many of which he has included in his new book, Trauma and the Avoidant Client: Attachment-Based Strategies for Healing.

Drawing on attachment theory and research, and upon a wealth of clinical experience, Dr. Muller will show how to work with such hard-to-treat clients, how to find points of entry and ways to make contact. Using a relational, psychodynamic approach, he will consider strategies to develop the therapeutic relationship in order to help the client regain a sense of trust in others. The individual is encouraged to take interpersonal risks, to mourn losses, and to face vulnerabilities. The challenges that arise to the therapeutic relationship are used as a productive force in the treatment.

This workshop will focus on practical clinical technique. Theory is complemented by case examples and segments from treatment sessions. Role playing exercises will be used for skill building purposes.

You will learn: • How to recognize characteristics

of avoidant attachment • How to productively use

trauma-related symptoms• How to maximize client engage-

ment throughout the process• How to work with affect• How to recognize and use

client transference• How to effectively manage

and use therapist counter-transference

• How to plan for the termination phase

This workshop is designed for experienced front-line workers (shelter workers, nurses, clergy, social workers, residential workers, addiction coun-sellors) who provide short-term (non psychotherapy) counselling contact with vulnerable populations in community-based settings. In this work-shop front-line workers and counsellors will learn effective strategies for how to who serve clients who are troubled by intrusive thoughts, flash-backs, nightmares and somatic responses.

Traumatic experiences that are frozen, stuck and unprocessed have the potential to exacerbate and generalize stress reactions. We will learn what causes certain memories to become traumatic. We will review the neurobiology of stress on memory systems and cognitive distortions that sear trauma responses in the nervous system.

Some memories are based on fear, helplessness and horror, and others memories are fortified by cognitive stuck points (guilt, shame, absorption of perpetrator messages, cultural/religious beliefs). Participants will learn effective interventions that target source traumatic memories. Participants will learn how to intervene effectively with clients given the scope of their practice such as phone lines, shelters, drop in centres, and mental health programs.

Participants will also learn about who to refer to what type of evidence based treatment for PTSD such as Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Eye

Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Imagery Rescripting and Reprocessing Therapy (IRRT).

We will also explore how we as workers are impacted by our clients’ individual and collective trauma narratives and discuss approaches to maintaining our energy, compassion and hope in working with vulnerable populations.

*Please be advised: this program offers explicit video images of trauma reactions and frank discussions of trauma related images.

You will learn:

• Manifestations of traumatic experiences

• Sources of stuck traumatic processes: cognitive distortions, neurobiological mechanisms,

• Key strategies utilized by front-line workers to mitigating and eliminating intrusive traumatic reactions (mediate hyper/hypoarousal, stabilize sleep, address cognitive distortions, responses to horror, helplessness and hopelessness, change embedded trauma narratives

• Review treatment approaches utilized by trauma specialists

• Strategies to maintain our resilience while engaging with clients/patients who suffer

She has published a number of journal articles and book chapters on DBT, personality disorders the treatment of people diagnosed with concurrent disorders and psychotherapy research.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: The EssentialsShelley McMain, Ph.D

Treatment of individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder usually poses significant challenges to front-line workers. Treatment is complicated by high rates of comorbidity, unremitting crises, intense anger and suicidal behaviour not infrequently engen-dering discouragement and frustration in workers. Accumulating research evidence supporting the effectiveness of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) has resulted in this approach becoming widely viewed as a promising treatment for the management of extreme behaviours associated with borderline personality disorder.

DBT blends traditional Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with tech-niques from acceptance-based traditions. This course will increase participants’ understanding of this comprehensive psychotherapy and how to apply DBT principles and a broad range of strategies associated with this approach. In this workshop, participants will learn how to conceptualize borderline personality disorder from DBT’s compassionate, non-pejorative, biosocial theory. Specific strat-egies will be described and demonstrated so that participants will learn how to enhance commitment to treatment, balance a focus on behavioural change with acceptance, address complex clinical issues

such as self-harm behaviours, substance use and how to reduce personal burn-out.

Participants in the workshop will have an opportunity to role play difficult therapeutic situations and apply treatment strategies to specific clinical cases.

Workshop Objectives You will learn:• How to conceptualize borderline personality disorder from DBT’s

biosocial theory• To identify the function and modes of standard Dialectical

Behaviour Therapy• Practical strategies for increasing commitment and engagement• How to balance validation and change strategies• How to conduct a behavioural analysis and solution analysis of

problematic behaviours including self-harm and substance abuse• How to utilize dialectical strategies for addressing polarized

behaviour

Recent changes to the refugee claim process have limited the options for many refugees who are making a claim from countries that have been officially designated as democratic. Many of the refugee claimants most affected by these changes are those who have a complex history of trauma, such as women fleeing domestic violence situations or LGBTQ individuals fleeing homophobic persecution. These events are often experienced in addition to the trauma associated with war or civil unrest. Regardless of the reason for their flight, the majority of claimants do not have access to formal assessment services and are often among those most ill served by current frameworks for conducting trauma assessments. As a result, refugee lawyers are having to rely more and more on support letters written by front line social service workers to support their client’s refugee claims. These letters are extremely important to the claim process as frontline workers are often the most knowledgeable about their client’s histories and symptoms. However, few frontline workers receive any formal training in writing letters of support and therefore the process can be daunting. This workshop is designed to assist frontline workers in writing effective letters of support for their clients who are making a refugee claim.

You will learn:

• the difference between conducting a trauma assessment and writing a support letter;

• the limitations of current frameworks for assessing trauma cross culturally;

• recent changes to the refugee claim process and how it affects refugees from different regions;

• the nature of traumatic memory and implications for the refugee claim process;

• how to understand the range of trauma presentations and provide support letters for those client’s whose presentations fall outside common sense understandings of trauma;

• the basics of body centred approaches to understanding trauma and how it can assist you in writing letters of support for your clients;

• strategies for advocating for clients, and providing psycho-education for refugee board members relevant to your client’s presentation;

• how to write letters of support that will be most effective in anticipating challenges the client may face in a hearing situation;

• resources available for establishing country conditions.

Walking the Walk:Creative Tools for Transforming Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious TraumaFrançoise Mathieu, M.Ed., CCC.MONTREAL May 27, 2013 TORONTO May 29, 2013

We pay an emotional price for doing the work that we do: Some of us hear difficult stories daily and are frequently exposed to traumatic details from the cases we are working on. We are not always able to help everyone who comes to us for help - the demand often outweighs what we can offer.What is the impact of this work on our own emotional well-being, on our personal life?Compassion fatigue is characterized by deep emotional and physical exhaustion and by a shift in a helping professional’s sense of hope and optimism about the future and the value of their work. It has been called “a disorder that affects those who do their work well” (Figley, 1995). Vicarious Trauma refers to the profound transformation workers experience in their world view when they work with clients who have experienced traumatic events. Helpers notice that their fundamental beliefs about the world are altered and possibly damaged by being repeatedly exposed to traumatic material. The level of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma a helper experiences can ebb and flow from one day to the next, and even very healthy helpers with optimal life/work balance and self-care strategies can experience a higher than normal level of compassion fatigue when they are overloaded, are working with a lot of traumatic content, or find their case load suddenly heavy with clients who are all chronically in crisis.Compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma are normal consequences of

working in the helping field. The best strategy to address compassion fatigue is to develop excellent self-care strategies, as well as an early warning system that lets the helper know that they are moving into the caution zone of Compassion Fatigue.This is a highly interactive one day workshop, incorporating a combination of solo, small group and whole group activities. Topics covered will include:• Understanding compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma,

moral distress and burnout• Symptom checklist, targeting areas for strategic planning• Evaluating self-care, identifying triggers• Developing a personalised strategic plan for identifying and treating

compassion fatigue and vicarious traumaThis highly popular workshop has been offered across Canada over the past several years. Past participants have reported feeling inspired to make meaningful changes in their personal, professional and organizational lives in addition to learning practical strategies for identifying and dealing with the costs of caring.Who should attend?Helping professionals in the fields of mental health, health care, education, emergency services, corrections and law enforcement, volunteers and caregivers.
