Let’s understand what happens to the nervous system and brain in the face of sustained danger and life threat. We will introduce you to 16 year old Jackson and his family. Using what we understand about how trauma impacts all aspects of development, we will get a sense of how his and his family’s life has been shaped by relational trauma. We will take you through the steps to screen and assess trauma and its impacts and arrive at formulations and treatment plans that are trauma responsive. In this first master class, we will be focusing on Jackson’s individual needs and how we understand and respond to his symptoms. we will also explore how Jackson’s symptoms are impacting his family members. In subsequent sessions we will be focusing on how to respond to families and systems. Video taped examples will be shown. Supporting Families March 28, 2022, 9:00 am - 2:00pm EST-Speakers: Psychologist Dr. Sian Phillips, Social Worker Kristin Gionfriddo, Director of the Institute of Childhood Trauma and Attachment Leticia Gracia. During this class we will discuss how to support families of complex clients. How do we understand what is happening for the parent/s? How can we work with the family to begin to heal past hurt? Returning to our case study, we will work with Jackson’s mom to understand and resolve her shame and experiences of loss. We will help her understand and tolerate her son’s anger and repair the damage to their relationship. As the trust in the relationship develops, we will discuss how to invite her into parenting from an attachment perspective where she can provide both limits and nurturing in a way that helps Jackson feel safer. Video taped examples will be shown.

We will focus on how we might help others adopt a more trauma informed perspective through collaboration and support. (Focusing on how we create trauma informed spaces and support other service providers to respond in a trauma sensitive way). In our case study, it becomes apparent that Jackson needs psychiatric care and may require a period of live in care.
