Conference Information:
Description:
By recognizing that trauma is a health concern and it impacts the emotional and physical wellness of individuals, behavioral health providers can begin to provide support to consumers through the implementation of evidence-based and best practice interventions, and collaboration across the system of care.
It is important to develop and implement treatment services that can effectively address post-traumatic stress symptoms while also successfully managing the risk of triggering individuals into episodes of mental illness symptoms or substance abuse relapse. The goal of this conference is to advance the development and implementation of evidence-based treatment services to individuals served by the public behavioral health system.
We will discuss how inequity, historical trauma, poverty and other negative social determinants increase exposure to risk factors that increase the likelihood of traumatic stress. Participants will also be provided with recommendations for service delivery and treatment that are sensitive to the unique experiences of marginalized communities.

Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to provide definitions and examples of health inequity, marginalized communities and historical trauma.
- Participants will be able to state the relevance of historical trauma and the poverty, stress and community violence disproportionately observed in marginalized communities for traumatic stress.
- Participants will be able to provide three ways that they can modify their treatment or practice to be responsive to the needs of marginalized communities.
Wonder Women, Daicia Price, LMSW
African American women have been identified as experiencing multiple levels of toxic minority stress as individuals with intersections of non-dominant groups. The workshop will focus on identifying the triple oppression that is experienced, resilience strategies, and methods of engagement using trauma-informed methods.
The Impact of Trauma on Non-Dominant Social Identity, Bridie Johnson, LMSW
Traumatic experiences in childhood and adolescence have been shown to have adverse impacts on later mental health and physical health outcomes across the lifespan (Felitti et al., 1998). Research suggests that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth are at greater risk than their same-age counterparts of experiencing a wide variety of traumas.
In fact, some traumas may be specific to LGBTQ youth who are at risk for discrimination, harassment, and abuse because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
This workshop will provide an overview of trauma in general as well as types of experiences of traumas that may be particular to LGBTQ youth in hopes that the professional community can be more aware of and appropriately assess for such experiences as part of a larger prevention and intervention effort to help these vulnerable youth (Mooney, 2017).
Identifying and Addressing Veteran Trauma, Chris Brown, MSW
The purpose of this workshop is to raise awareness about veterans as a vulnerable population. After serving in the military, many soldiers face physical, mental, and social issues that make them a vulnerable population. Some of these issues include, but are not limited to:
Brain Damage
Depression
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety
Substance abuse
Loss of limb(s)
Homelessness
Unemployment
Family and interpersonal problems
Trouble adjusting to civilian life
Trauma-Informed Care: Engaging Men of Color, Sam Simmons, LADC
Young men of color experience violence at staggering rates. Black and Latino males are disproportionately victims of violence, assault, and childhood or sexual abuse. Young men of color may not recognize the problems they experience as potential symptoms of trauma, and norms around masculinity and cultural stigma discourage some young men from seeking help.
Suggested Participants: MCPN Adult Providers, Case Managers, Social Workers, Professional Counselors, Addictions Counselors, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Administrator, and Clinical Directors serving adults.
Please note: Employees of private practices are not eligible to attend.
