Friday, March 21, 2025 via Live Interactive Zoom
8:30am-12:30pm
This workshop counts toward required annual training hours in Family Based Mental Health Services but is not currently available for CE credit.
This training is designed to equip family therapists with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the common traps that arise when integrating trauma-informed care within Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT). By balancing trauma awareness with systemic interventions, participants will learn to avoid the over-individualization of trauma responses and maintain a focus on relational dynamics. Through a blend of lecture, case study analysis, and interactive discussion, therapists will leave with practical tools to foster family healing, strengthen relational bonds, and avoid therapeutic immobilization. This training emphasizes action-oriented, strengths-based interventions that leverage family dynamics as a powerful resource for trauma recovery.
Objectives
As a result of attending this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe three principles of systemic work and trauma work that can conflict.
- Describe three common traps that emerge when integrating trauma-informed care (TIC) within Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT).
- Identify three strategies for maintaining a balanced approach that upholds both systemic integrity and trauma-informed principles, avoiding therapeutic immobilization.
This is an intermediate level course. The target audience is behavioral health professionals working within in-home behavioral health programs. This is a live synchronous distance learning activity conducted in real time, allowing for simultaneous participation of participants and instructors from different locations.
