Dear Friends and Colleagues:
We are pleased to offer our 10th semi-annual retreat for senior trauma-oriented clinicians who wish to develop their skills/repertoire as supervisors, consultants, workshop leaders, and instructors.
Purpose: The goal is to develop and support a growing group of individuals who can offer effective supervision, consultation, and basic and advanced training programs in trauma-informed treatment. Hopefully this will lead to more widely available quality training and practice in this specialty area.
Curriculum: All aspects of trauma treatment training/consultation will be covered, including:
- Repertoire of concepts and skills to be taught.
- Teaching methods for specific concepts and skills.
- Materials, slides and handouts for use in workshops.
- Presentation skills and strategies.
- Consultation and mentorship.
- Business practices and strategies.
Note: The primary focus of this retreat is not to teach clinical skills. It is designed to prepare those with the skills to teach and supervise others.
Objectives:
The overall goal is for participants to be able to offer effective specialty training programs on trauma treatment. Specific objectives:
- Participants will be able to consult on a case, identify the phase of trauma treatment the case currently is "in," and recommend specific treatment activities on that basis.
- Participants will be able to name the essential components of a successful training program (in terms of presentation methods etc.), and to design their own training programs accordingly.
- Participants will receive feedback on their own presentation styles and then demonstrate improvement.
- Participants will develop a business strategy for developing their trauma consultation and training practice.
