Join Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County to learn the mind-body connection, principles of Polyvagal Theory (an explanation of how we interpret our environment and respond to it), the connection between childhood trauma and adult mental health, and racial disparities in accessing trauma treatment and how this theory shapes advocacy efforts.

Participants will walk away with a working knowledge of what research-based treatment modalities they can implement within the context of parish life and how to use these modalities to form and train new community leaders to use their own authentic voice in advocacy work in a way that is safe and sustainable.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how the Mind-Body approach restores and improves personal and inter-relational functionality for those suffering trauma

• Apply basic principles of a trauma-informed approach for working in parishes in high-poverty and high-crime areas, large population of immigrants, and unstable housing.

• Use trauma-informed techniques in leadership development for volunteers, community leaders and promotoras.

• Apply trauma-informed practice to current efforts of community-based care and advocacy work.
