Being Trauma Informed: Applied Coaching & Supervision 2CEs

Recovery Coaching is a growing role/ service that is being implemented across a wide array of systems. Community Health Centers, Behavioral Health Settings, Emergency Departments, Police and Criminal Justice Settings, Recovery Centers, Schools, Primary Care, Department of
Children and Families, Faith based settings, Public Housing, amongst other settings have all benefited from Peer Recovery Supports.

In a 2012 NIH publication, “Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder among people with SUD”, the study assessed that about 89-95% of individuals with SUD report having history of traumatic experiences. In 2020, SAMHSA reported that the percentage of People with Mental
Health and SUD disorders nearly doubled during COVID. As the peer workforce comes across individuals with potential co-occurring challenges, it is pertinent that they are prepared to
recognize that signs that trauma may be present in the individuals they support.

After this training, Participants will be able to :

• Explore where the recovery coach might intersect with trauma
• Identify experiences or events that might bring about traumatic reactions.
• Develop a personalized approach to recognizing and addressing trauma and
  secondary trauma.
