As American society increases its understanding of the potential effects of traumatic experiences among all populations, we see the value in developing safe spaces to anticipate the needs of these individuals across human service domains. Join Andrea Winkler, clinical social worker from the Duke Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic and Duke Area Health Education Center. Attendees will learn how to better serve their clients through using a “trauma informed service approach.” Attendees will learn what principles to employ when working with people that may be at risk for traumatic exposures.
