Trauma-Informed Care Before, During, & After Critical Incidents (HS - 020619 - Steiner)

Course overview

Many current offerings on critical incident trauma fall short by dealing almost exclusively with the aftermath of the event, the symptoms of trauma exposure, and basic treatment options. Successful coping also requires prevention and intervention, as well as an understanding of pre-event, event, and post-event factors that impact trauma and a negative or resilient response to it. In this recording, Dr. Carrie Steiner, a Police Psychologist and former Chicago police officer, shows you an engaging exploration of how to positively impact the lives of victims, responders, and law enforcement agencies before, during, and after critical incidents. Dr. Steiner's professional experience is invaluable as she shares first-hand knowledge of the successes that accompany the use of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs, as well as clinical strategies such as EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, Yoga, and somatic experiencing. Her presentation is practical and realistic, with honest dialogue about how to handle both the factors that we can control in a traumatic event, and those we cannot.
