This intensive workshop will provide a comprehensive journey for advancing treatment practices, diagnostic tools, and modern neuroscience & psychological research for community mental health professionals and educators. Participants will leave with tools designed for immediate impact in reducing rates of retraumatization while increasing rates of resiliency.
Over the past decade, researchers have discovered that existing diagnostic tools used to identify PTSD fail to account for the vast majority of the population suffering from traumatic stress symptomatology, resulting in traumatic stress sequelae spanning entire lifespans and influencing developmental progress, mental and physical health, and societal challenges in housing, employment, violence, and substance abuse.
Those who have experience chronic, long-term traumatic events and/or trauma-induced interpersonal relationships are frequently under-diagnosed, misdiagnosed, and under-treated. Community mental health agencies, the education system, and the justice system are well aware of this reality and are beginning to respond through trauma-informed program design. This workshop is designed to provide a solid foundation for professionals ready to obtain and apply comprehensive traumatic stress information to everyday practice.
This intensive workshop will critically examine the evolutionary trajectory of traumatic stress theories, research, diagnostics, and treatment practices over the past 40 years, with an emphasis placed on modern discoveries in neuroscience, human development, and lifespan psychology. Professionals will be challenged to look beyond historical trends in traumatic stress treatment through application of contemporary biological and psychological sciences that are redefining how mental health professionals and educators conceptualize trauma and recovery. Evidence-based practices will be explored in conjunction with the innovative techniques emerging research supports as effective.
Distinctions will be explored between 'brain' and 'mind', with brief activities throughout the day designed to provide professionals with practice tools to advance recovery strategies at all levels and degrees of interpersonal interactions with consumers.
If you work with anyone with a high risk for having experienced traumatic life events and adversity, this workshop is a must-attend professional development event and will dramatically shift your perceptions of traumatic stress and resiliency.
Please join us on the journey to promote trauma-informed care, evidence-based treatments, and innovative strategies that promise to advance traumatic stress treatments and resiliency for all ages.

About the Instructor: Ally Jamieson, MSW is currently working on her doctoral degree in social work at the University of British Columbia. Her education in psychology and cognitive neuroscience provide the conceptual framework for her on-going work in developing a comprehensive model for child traumatic stress in social work practice. With over 15 years in early childhood and adolescent youth work, Ally intertwines critical practice techniques with contemporary neuroscientific findings to promote resolution to traumatic life experiences. Her overarching professional vision is to instill easy to understand neuroscience education and trauma-informed practices into all foundational social work and educational practice, with the belief that transformation cannot be fully achieved without understanding how our psychological experiences interconnect with our biological states.
Ally's strongest teaching skill is to make biological science easy to understand, fun to learn, and applicable to any experienced psychological state. There is no such thing as a spirit completely broken; therefore, all humans have the right to hope.
