Presented by: Lewis Johnson, M.S., NCC, CTP, CET I
About the workshop: Religion and spirituality (R/S) may be paramount in a client’s life and be the catalyst for positive change behavior, but it can often be difficult and uncomfortable for a therapist to broach the topic with clients without the proper knowledge and skills on how to integrate it effectively and safely. When exploring these subjects with clients, knowledge about the trauma-informed principles and conducting religious/spiritual assessments is key. Through a trauma-informed lens, we will examine the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) six trauma-informed principles, develop a working definition of religion and spirituality, identify the three types of R/S integration, and explore methods for integrating R/S in session.
Learning Objectives:

List the six trauma-informed principles
Explain the four R’s of trauma-informed care
Define the meaning of R/S and compare the difference between the two terms
Identify the three ways that R/S can be integrated into session
Describe one way that R/S assessments can lead to positive change behavior in a client

Presented by Dr. Scott Giacomucci, DSW, LCSW, BCD, CGP, FAAETS, TEP
This workshop centers the six trauma-informed principles outlined by SAMHSA as guiding values in psychodrama practice, group work, and leadership (drawing from content in Dr. Scott’s forthcoming book on the topic). These principles will be presented as both clinical guides and ethical imperatives. Participants will be challenged to explore their own relationships to trauma-informed principles and areas for growth in their practice and their workplace. Trauma-informed care considerations will be applied specifically to the practice of group therapy and psychodrama with an emphasis on resisting retraumatization. Multiple sociometric and psychodramatic interventions will be taught as trauma-informed experiential methods. The importance of attending to safety, trust, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, and identity will be explored in further detail as they relate to trauma-informed care and the practice of sociometry, psychodrama, and group psychotherapy.
Learning Objectives:
1). Identify the six trauma-informed principles outlined by SAMHSA.
2). Describe the four R’s of trauma-informed care.
3). Compare the difference between “trauma-informed” and “trauma-focused”
4). Identify three sociometric tools to explore group relationships
5). Describe two considerations for trauma-informed sociometry in action
6). Explain the role of group cohesion in effective group therapy practice
7) Explain the importance of ethics in trauma-informed care
8) Explain how to use two sociometry tools as a group-as-a-whole assessment
9) Describe two strategies for resisting retraumatization in psychodrama practice
10) Utilize three creative and engaging group therapy interventions
11) Describe the relationship between trustworthiness and transparency
12) Demonstrate at least one sociometry tool for enhancing group cohesion
13) Utilize doubling to enhance safety, catharsis, and integration
14) Explain the value of the role reversal intervention in promoting change
15) Identify the importance of group pre-screening in trauma-informed psychodrama

Cost – $975 ($700 for students) (this fee guarantees a directing opportunity).
Reduced cost option for those interested in attending without directing practice for 35 hours of training/CEs – $750
*please inquire if you are unavailable to attend the entire week and are interested in 2-3 day registration options
35 CE hours for NBCC, PA LSW/LCSW, LPC, LMFT, and Psychologists | 35 Training hours provided towards experiential and psychodrama certifications. *APA CE Hours are not offered in this workshop
About the Workshop:
This psychodrama directing practice is designed for psychodrama students, practitioners, and trainers-in-training to enhance their directing through a trauma-informed lens. Each participant will have the opportunity to facilitate a group psychodrama and receive feedback from their peers and the trainer. Feedback will be provided based on the psychodrama certification competencies outlined by the ABE, as well as trauma-informed psychodrama considerations. Each participant will also have the opportunity to be the protagonist and play auxiliary roles to learn psychodrama from the inside-out.
Psychodrama facilitation competencies emphasized will include a demonstrated understanding of group phases, the warming-up process, spontaneity-creativity theory, role theory, protagonist selection, contracting, scene setting, concretization, doubling, the mirror position, role reversal, soliloquy, directing auxiliaries and the audience, facilitating catharsis safely, facilitating closure/integration, containment, strength-based roles, trauma-informed principles in psychodrama, attending to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in psychodrama, subroles of the director, and facilitating the sharing phase of a psychodrama session.
While this is a training workshop, and training will be held as the priority, there will be a multitude of secondary opportunities for personal growth. This workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced psychodrama students and would not be the best workshop for someone who has no prior psychodrama training. Participants are expected to have past experiential/psychodrama experience as a prerequisite for this workshop, as well as a foundational understanding of psychodrama’s methodology.
This workshop will be attractive for anyone seeking to enhance their psychodrama facilitation skills – and especially for professionals with some psychodrama experience seeking to more fully put their learning into action. Professionals warming-up to complete their CP/TEP onsite exams will also find this workshop helpful as the trainer will provide feedback using the same competencies outlined for the CP/TEP onsite exams.
Learning Objectives:

Explain at least two psychodrama interventions
Identify the three phases of a psychodrama group
Describe at least two trauma-informed considerations for psychodrama directing

About the Workshop:
Recent news coverage in our country has documented the constant, targeted attack on the LGBTQIA+ community, which led to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) issuing a state of emergency declaration in June 2023, something that has never occurred in its 40+ year history (Human Rights Campaign, 2023). Historically, LGBTQIA+ folks have been a marginalized community, frequently dehumanized simply because of their identity. Through trauma-informed care, we can support and empower our LGBTQIA+ clients as they navigate these events. Before we can provide trauma-informed care, we must first differentiate between trauma-informed and trauma-focused. Together, we will review the six trauma-informed principles outlined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), their importance in practices and organizations, and how these principles can serve as the blueprint for empowering our LGBTQIA+ clients.

Learning Objectives:

Define trauma-informed care.
Identify three trauma-informed principles.
Differentiate between trauma-informed and trauma-focused therapy.
Explain the importance of trauma-informed care for LGBTQIA+ folks.

About the Workshop:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a systems-focused, non-pathologizing approach to psychotherapy. IFS encourages us to approach our internal worlds and the inner worlds of others with qualities such as curiosity, compassion, connectedness, clarity, courage, calmness, confidence, and creativity.
IFS asserts that we are all made up of parts, subpersonalities that assume specific roles based on our experiences. IFS allows us to release our parts from internal constraints and cultivate internal harmony.
This workshop will help participants conceptualize and work with cases from an Internal Family Systems perspective, using the 6 Fs to allow clients to connect with their 8 Cs of Self. There will be both didactic and experiential portions of this workshop to help attendees inform their work with IFS principles. No previous IFS knowledge is required.

Learning Objectives:
a) Describe one of the 6 Fs
b) Explain the different between a part and Self
c) Explain one way a therapist’s parts show up in therapy
d) Integrate basic IFS principles into client case conceptualization

Trauma-Informed Leadership (Online International Workshop)
2023-11-20 07:00 - 11:00 | PA
Trauma-Informed Leadership

Dr. Scott Giacomucci, DSW, LCSW, BCD, CGP, FAAETS, TEP

November 20th, 2023 – 7:00am – 11:00am NEW YORK TIME

Trauma-informed leadership is increasingly gaining momentum as a crucial aspect of effective leadership. It emphasizes understanding the impact of trauma on individuals and implementing practices that promote safety, cooperation and trust, transparency and resilience for both staff members and community members receiving services, whether commercial, educational, or voluntary.

Together with Scott Giacomucci and Asociatia Beyond, we decided to create this online experiential workshop in order to share the principles of trauma-informed leadership and provide practical tools through which this leadership style can be implemented and create an impact both at the organizational level and in the communities of those who join us.

Registration and Reduced Fee Requests here – https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSda2xAtyu_cz4zKY6O20Xqyirv4lpFaHl6kfpeJCfxKBu4tkQ/viewform?fbclid=IwAR0OHXwdTmqxoopdInXqWqI8VhSgWNUPrHydNkc0RdHW4PrRflCJqx_GJLk

Romanian:

Stilul de leadership bazat pe cunoasterea traumei câștigă tot mai mult teren ca aspect crucial al unei conduceri eficiente. Acesta pune accentul pe înțelegerea impactului traumei asupra indivizilor și pe implementarea unor practici care promovează medii de interactiune securizante, cooperare si incredere, transparenta, reziliența atât pentru membrii personalului, cât și pentru membrii comunității care beneficiază de servicii, fie acestea de natura comerciala, educationala sau voluntariat.

Impreuna cu Scott Giacomucci, și Asociatia Beyond am decis sa cream acest atelier de lucru experiential , online, in cadrul caruia sa detaliem principiile leadershipului bazat pe cunoasterea traumei si sa oferim instrumente practice prin care acest stil de leadership sa produca efecte la atat nivel de organizatii cat si in comunitatile celor ce ni se vor alatura.

Trauma-informed leadership is increasingly gaining momentum as a crucial aspect of effective leadership. It emphasizes understanding the impact of trauma on individuals and implementing practices that promote safety, cooperation and trust, transparency and resilience for both staff members and community members receiving services, whether commercial, educational, or voluntary.

Together with Scott Giacomucci and Asociatia Beyond, we decided to create this online experiential workshop in order to share the principles of trauma-informed leadership and provide practical tools through which this leadership style can be implemented and create an impact both at the organizational level and in the communities of those who join us.

Romanian:

Stilul de leadership bazat pe cunoasterea traumei câștigă tot mai mult teren ca aspect crucial al unei conduceri eficiente. Acesta pune accentul pe înțelegerea impactului traumei asupra indivizilor și pe implementarea unor practici care promovează medii de interactiune securizante, cooperare si incredere, transparenta, reziliența atât pentru membrii personalului, cât și pentru membrii comunității care beneficiază de servicii, fie acestea de natura comerciala, educationala sau voluntariat.

Impreuna cu Scott Giacomucci, și Asociatia Beyond am decis sa cream acest atelier de lucru experiential , online, in cadrul caruia sa detaliem principiile leadershipului bazat pe cunoasterea traumei si sa oferim instrumente practice prin care acest stil de leadership sa produca efecte la atat nivel de organizatii cat si in comunitatile celor ce ni se vor alatura.

Tattoos, Trauma, and Psychodrama: Externalization of Pain and Meaning
2023-12-08 09:00 - 16:30 | PA
Presented by Dr. Scott Giacomucci, DSW, LCSW, BCD, CGP, FAAETS, TEP
Date & Time: Friday Dec 8th, 9am – 4:30pm

About the Workshop:
Tattoos offer a creative outlet for externalizing pain, meaning-making, and growth in the aftermath of adversity or important milestones in one’s life. Tattoos have been used throughout history to mark initiation, status or roles in the community, or for religious/spiritual purposes. Over 30% of the US population has at least one tattoo. This means that we are frequently working with clients with tattoos which can offer us potent insight into their meaning-making process. Multiple research studies have highlighted how tattoos offer trauma or loss survivors with an avenue for healing, bearing witness, memorializing pain, combating shame, and initiating connection. This workshop will explore tattoos as a concretization of pain and meaning-making for both the therapist and clients.
Learning Objectives:
1). Identify one research finding related to tattoos and trauma or loss2). Describe one group warm-up related to tattoos
3). Explain one use of psychodrama to explore tattoos
