NK009C Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn: What Social Service Providers Need to Know about Trauma TIVE27-202540

Given the amount of trauma system involved youth and families have experienced, it’s crucial for social service providers to understand common trauma responses and how they may manifest. Although fight, flight, and freeze are more commonly known there is more acknowledgment of the fawn response. This training will provide an overview of these common responses, how they manifest and how to support system-involved youth. Not only is it important for us to understand these trauma responses it’s equally as important to help system-involved youth understand how they show up in their lives and may even be impeding their functioning at home at school and other settings.
