Crisis situations often involve acute nervous system dysregulation, perceived threat, and psychological collapse. This workshop provides clinicians with trauma-informed frameworks for responding to crisis while remaining within the scope of professional counseling practice. Participants will explore stabilization strategies, ethical considerations, and clinical decision-making during periods of acute distress. The workshop emphasizes safety, containment, and short-term intervention strategies that support stabilization without exceeding professional boundaries or emergency response roles.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
Identify trauma-informed principles relevant to crisis response in counseling settings.
Apply stabilization and containment strategies appropriate to acute psychological distress.
Evaluate ethical considerations and scope-of-practice boundaries in trauma-informed crisis intervention.
MindPath is a partner platform for this workshop.
Booking through MindPath is part of the official registration process and is the same workshop hosted by Carolyn Ramp.
