Continuing Education Workshop Description:
Generational trauma—also known as intergenerational or transgenerational trauma—refers to the transmission of trauma effects across generations through relational, attachment, family, cultural, and historical pathways.
This continuing education workshop provides a clinical framework for recognizing, assessing, and treating generational trauma, with attention to neurobiological, attachment-based, and systemic processes.
Participants will explore trauma-informed and culturally responsive assessment strategies and evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions, including TF-CBT, ACT, narrative, somatic and polyvagal-informed, attachment-focused, and parts-based approaches. Case examples and applied exercises will support clinical conceptualization, treatment selection, and sequencing of care.
Continuing Education Workshop Objectives:
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Identify key mechanisms and clinical indicators of generational trauma, including relational, attachment, neurobiological, systemic, and cultural influences.
- Apply trauma-informed assessment and multigenerational case conceptualization strategies to distinguish generational trauma patterns from other clinical presentations.
- Develop a phase-based treatment approach that matches evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to client needs, clinical targets, and readiness for treatment.
