This workshop talks to attendees about what trauma is, how it can affect us throughout our lives, and what we can do about it. This will help participants feel more comfortable talking about their trauma. A skill building portion is designed to help attendees feel more confident in using the skills they are taught along with identifying the skills they already use to help organize their “trauma closet”.
