Speaker: Chaplain Steven E. West
Chaplains called upon to offer trauma care outside of the trauma setting. Providing trauma informed care is never easy and advanced training is needed to minister to those who are in distress due to trauma. This workshop is designed to give chaplains and mental health workers tools in working with trauma in the immediate aftermath of a critical incident.
