Join the Office of Victim Assistance and the Office of Student Affairs for a training on Supporting Survivors of Trauma.

Supporting Survivors: How to Respond to Someone who Discloses Trauma

Traumatic experiences happen every day and the CU Boulder community is not exempt. After a traumatic experience, usually friends, mentors, family, and sometimes faculty/advisors are the first to be told about these experiences. How one responds matters as it can impact healing, as well as whether the survivors will seek additional support. This session will focus on:

The positive impacts of trauma-informed support and how it can help a survivor heal

General information on the impact of traumatic events (for more in-depth on this point see other presentation on Neurobiology of Trauma)

Skills that address how to respond to someone after they share about a traumatic or life disrupting event (grow skills in how to be trauma-informed in our responses).

LUNCH will be served.
