Much of our substance abuse prevention work stems from intergenerational trauma and present day trauma. It is important for preventionists to be aware of the impact of trauma on individuals and in community and how it contributes to many public health issues. Knowledge is power and this training will provide the opportunity for participants to develop a greater understanding of how trauma impacts all aspects of life and lends explanation as to why many children and families we strive to help do the things they do and are compelled to repeat patterns of unhealthy behavior.  A practical overview of basic brain function and impact of trauma on the brain’s organization, function and structure, and current research in the field of trauma and neuroscience will be provided. Participants will explore the struggles preventionists may encounter and practice recognizing and responding to children and families affected by trauma. Ideas and suggestions, as well as activities and methods to incorporate into the way you work in the community will also be reviewed.

A historical review of prevention strategies will highlight the evolution of our rich and diverse profession.
