Description
Join Fusion Academy and Responsive Recovery, LLC for an in-person Breakfast, Workshop, Lunch and 3 CEs Event!
The Stages of Trauma and Recovery (STAR) model is an innovative public mental health model which empowers and teaches individuals to claim ownership of their mental well-being and healing process throughout the lifespan.
**This is an interactive workshop. Please dress comfortable and wear socks***
STAR and its trauma-responsive techniques are intended to become as relevant as The Stages of Grief and bridges a continuum of care to the ACEs. STAR provides a universal framework and language that can be used across systems including educational, community organizations, substance abuse, mental and medical health systems. STAR is an evidence-based model based on a comprehensive body of research and clinical experience. STAR identifies and explains the effects of trauma and teaches accessible, affordable and sustainable evidence-based trauma-responsive techniques intended to be integrated into daily living activities in the same way as healthy nutrition and exercise. This practice provides early prevention and interruption of the consequences of trauma (substance abuse, obesity, suicidality and other mental and medical health conditions). The trauma-responsive techniques invite participants to experience mental health interventions in non-traditional, holistic ways and at their discretion. The trauma-responsive techniques can easily be personalized and encourage participants to incorporate their own cultural rituals and traditions.
