Crisis Assessment and Intervention When Trauma Strikes: A Five-Step Approach to Foster Hope, Collaboration, and Change
July 7, 14, 21 and 28, 2021 – 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET
CWLA is excited to host Michael J. Schultz, Ed.D. licensed psychologist, family therapist, systems consultant and CWLA Fellow for this four-part skill building training, which is based on his upcoming CWLA Press publication titled, Systems Consultation When Trauma Strikes: Stories of Hope, Collaboration, and Change. The soaring pressure and lofty expectations confronting educational and human services professionals are having an impact on all levels of the workforce. As such, it is increasingly apparent that the COVID-19 pandemic, racial unrest, political strife, and economic disparities leave many well-meaning professionals feeling overwhelmed, under-supervised, and highly susceptible to symptoms of primary and secondary traumatic stress. Facilitated conversations using a five-step approach is one way to foster the hope, collaboration, and change needed to assess and intervene when trauma and tragedy strike. These facilitated conversations seek to cultivate environments of safety and trust, significant supervisory support, increased tolerance for ambiguity and stress, and a well-formulated team orientation.
