Enhancing Careers and Communities Through Continuing Education

The College of Professional and Continuing Education is helping workers and managers in behavioral health advance their careers and enhance the communities they serve through a series of three training sessions on trauma-informed approaches.
Training focuses on such topics as identifying toxic stress, creating a trusting and protective workplace, and assessing trauma and resiliency.
“Through the infrastructure and support of the College of Professional and Continuing Education, we were able to deliver training that equips workers and managers with practical trauma-informed strategies, continuing to move knowledge beyond the classroom and directly into the workplaces and communities where it can have the greatest impact,” says Dr. Deb Berke, director of Psychology Programs and the Center for Prevention Science. Dr. Berke led the training with Dr. Suzanne Reinhardt.
Trauma-informed care provides a framework that acknowledges the impact of trauma on wellness and identifies collaborative paths to safety and healing.
Rick Beno, associate dean of the college, encourages anyone interested in developing training for their organization to contact continuinged@wilmu.edu.
