This training, led by Dr. Robert Macy of the International Trauma Center, will equip attendees to support individuals and communities after incidents of violence. The training will cover the following models for responding to acute trauma:

• Psychological First Aid—an evidence-informed approach for assisting children, adolescents, adults, and families in the aftermath of disaster and terrorism and
  

• Post-Traumatic Stress Management—a community-based acute trauma response intervention to be utilized in the wake of community violence

Trauma Responders who attend the full training will be trained to offer group supports that do the following:

• Support the natural, human tendency to group together, seeking solace and safety after traumatic incidents

• Reduce acute traumatic stress common among survivors

• Refer to and access community based resources as needed

By registering for this training, you are agreeing to support your community as a responder for the Network of Neighbors.
