Join us on Zoom this Friday, Feb. 17, for the next trauma-informed training session, scheduled from 3 to 4 p.m. on this link.
This month we are focusing our trauma-Informed teaching training with important knowledge of how trauma affects the body and physical health. It is important for us to recognize the impact trauma has on how the body functions, and how it can begin to heal.
In this session, the graduate counseling program’s Michelle Deeg-Davis will share with us the impact Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have on adult health, and Erin Johnson, director of our BSW program, will take time to walk us through the Polyvagal System and how extended time spent in the fight, flight, or freeze state impacts our health.
We also explore how mindfulness, yoga, martial arts, and other activities can help move the body into a state of social engagement to increase social, emotional, psychological and physical health.
Please refer to the AAO Newsletter that went out on Feb. 3 for more details and resources.
