The Trauma Toolbox
Each of the topics below is available as individual training or series. Each workshop typically runs for a full day (6 hours) but can be modified to fit your organization’s needs:
Trauma-Informed Champions
This presentation puts all the pieces of the trauma toolbox puzzle together (literally) to look at how organizations can become trauma-informed champions. We dig deeper into the SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) trauma-informed best practices, such as the Six Key Principles, 4 R’s, and Three E’s. We will discuss compassionate-based practices that will impact various communities and cultural groups. Participants will leave feeling competent and capable of providing trauma-informed practices and will have a greater sense of their trauma challenges.
Becoming Trauma-Informed
This workshop will provide an overview of what it means to be trauma-informed by looking at the nature of trauma and its impact on the brain and behavior. We will explore the “beautiful brain” and nervous system and how it can be broken. Specifically, we will dive into the heart of compassion for those who have suffered from trauma. We will also make personal reflections on how it impacts us as professionals. The group will use the Brain Architecture game to learn their ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score.
The Road to Resilience
This presentation will take a trip down the “road of resilience” to look at how we got here as a nation and where we still need to go… We will explore the diagnosis of PTSD and Complex PTSD. Most of our training will practice NeuroResiliency tools using ancient and modern techniques to help the traumatized child or adult heal. A TIC model for healing will be offered that is simple and powerful that involves three steps: 1. Calming the brain and nervous system. 2. Increasing competency and skills. 3. Deepen relationships.
Healing Strategies for Hurt Children in the School
This training will develop the healing strategies model discussed in “The Road to Resilience” as it applies to the classroom. Mindfulness tools, morning meetings, safe places, social-emotional learning frameworks (SELF), and more will be introduced so that all levels of school personnel with become trauma-sensitive and allow children to prosper socially, emotionally, and academically.
Healing Strategies for Hurt Children in the Home
Parents need tools to build regulation and resiliency in hurt children. This workshop looks at ways to apply the healing model for hurt children’s parents and professionals with them. We will explore how to create power-full families built on strengths, talents, and natural thinking skills. Participants will learn the “Dance of Attachment” steps and how trauma can move from one generation to the next. We will explore the arousal/relaxation cycle, the adult attachment interview, and its application to organizations that serve families.
Self-Care Strategies and Mindfulness Tools for Trauma
This workshop opens the door to a greater understanding of the impact of trauma on the caregiver and professional. Secondary trauma will be explored, and how parents and professionals can practice mindfulness to create personal and organizational resiliency. Each participant will leave with a self-care plan they can use immediately. Also, research from Positive Psychology and the science of Happiness will be introduced, making this a fun, educational workshop.
Post-Traumatic GROWTH
You have probably heard of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but have you heard of Post-Traumatic Growth? This natural science has evolved out of the Positive Psychology Movement and Happiness Research of the 1990s. Today’s neuroscience and mindfulness research take this to a new and exciting level. Ron can create tailored training for your organization to lead you through his three “healing strategies” and develop power-full interventions based on strength-based, mind-body tools.
