This live event takes place Tuesday, May 20, 6 pm-8 pm EDT (3 pm-5 pm PDT).
This course offers an in-depth exploration of the process of personal growth following trauma, guiding healthcare professionals through both the journey of post-traumatic growth and the clinical interventions available to support resiliency. Participants will gain practical knowledge in trauma-informed care, with a focus on evidence-based treatment modalities tailored for clients seeking healing after trauma. Additionally, the course equips clinicians with empirically researched interventions that foster post-traumatic growth, combining theoretical insights with actionable strategies for promoting resilience and recovery in trauma survivors.
This live webinar is designed for mental and behavioral health professionals who would benefit from enhanced knowledge and skills related to fostering resilience after trauma.
The demand for trauma-informed care has never been greater, yet there is a significant need for resources that equip providers with the skills necessary to facilitate post-traumatic growth effectively. The purpose of this course is to address this need by offering a comprehensive exploration of post-traumatic growth and the evidence-based interventions that support it.
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Provide psychoeducation to clients on trauma-informed care.
- Guide clients toward eliciting desired change.
- Utilize trauma-informed interventions in daily counseling practice.
- Analyze trauma-informed interventions for managing vicarious trauma.

The role of implicit biases on healthcare outcomes has become a concern, as there is some evidence that implicit biases contribute to health disparities, professionals' attitudes toward and interactions with patients, quality of care, diagnoses, and treatment decisions. This may produce differences in help-seeking, diagnoses, and ultimately treatments and interventions. Implicit biases may also unwittingly produce professional behaviors, attitudes, and interactions that reduce patients' trust and comfort with their provider, leading to earlier termination of visits and/or reduced adherence and follow-up. Disadvantaged groups are marginalized in the healthcare system and vulnerable on multiple levels; health professionals' implicit biases can further exacerbate these existing disadvantages.
Interventions or strategies designed to reduce implicit bias may be categorized as change-based or control-based. Change-based interventions focus on reducing or changing cognitive associations underlying implicit biases. These interventions might include challenging stereotypes. Conversely, control-based interventions involve reducing the effects of the implicit bias on the individual's behaviors. These strategies include increasing awareness of biased thoughts and responses. The two types of interventions are not mutually exclusive and may be used synergistically.
