Cultivating Radical Calmness to Promote Resilience in Clients and Caregivers: Developing a Trauma-Sensitive Practice
Cultivating Radical Calmness to Promote Resilience in Clients and Caregivers: Developing a Trauma-Sensitive Practice is organized by American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA).
Description:
This module will discuss radical calmness as a central aspect of trauma-sensitive practice. We will discuss the tie between trauma-sensitive communication and resilience in clients. Additionally, we will discuss the link between radical calmness and promoting the well-being of caregivers, and preventing burnout among healthcare workers. Finally, we will identify and practice specific recreation-based strategies to engender calmness.
Upon completion of the module, participants will be able to:
• Describe “hot” and “cold” communication and its relation to the stress response
• Identify three specific communication strategies for working with clients and families
• Identify one way they can improve by practicing “radical calmness”.
