We believe that compassionate and effective CDBG-DR case management is crucial for true recovery, and trauma-informed training is a key part of that. By combining advanced technologies and environmental expertise with our trauma-informed practices, CDBG-DR and HUD case managers can better support survivors with both skill and empathy. This approach helps us address not just the logistical and infrastructural challenges of disaster management, but also provides caring and understanding support to those affected. By merging expertise and a trauma-informed approach, we can create disaster management strategies that are more effective, leading to better and longer-lasting outcomes for survivors. #ERSDisasterRelief #ERSCaseManagement #TraumaInformedCare #DisasterResponse #InnovativeDisasterSolutions #ERSSupport #SustainableDisasterRecovery #TraumaInformed #HolisticDisasterManagement www.ersolutionsco.com Michael G.

🧠 Why does EMDR work? It’s rooted in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory, which helps explain how our brains naturally process and store information. AIP suggests that our minds are wired to heal and integrate experiences, but when we encounter trauma, that process can be disrupted. Instead of storing memories adaptively, the trauma becomes "stuck" in a maladaptive state, leading to distressing symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, or negative beliefs about ourselves. EMDR works by stimulating the brain’s natural ability to reprocess and resolve these stuck memories. Through bilateral stimulation, we activate the brain’s adaptive processing system, allowing the traumatic memory to be integrated into a healthier, more functional narrative. This can help resolve symptoms and lead to more adaptive ways of thinking and being in the world. But here’s why it’s so important to have a trained EMDR therapist guide this process. The AIP model requires a deep understanding of how to safely and effectively help clients reprocess traumatic memories. A trained therapist ensures that clients are supported every step of the way, preventing harm or re-traumatization and helping clients fully unlock their natural healing potential. How has the AIP theory shaped your understanding of EMDR, and what role do you see trained therapists playing in its success?

TRAUMA-INFORMED & TRAUMA-SPECIFIC BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE o  Research consistently substantiates the high co-prevalence of posttraumatic stress with behavioral health conditions, including addictive and serious/persistent mental health disorders. The findings of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study[1] have expanded our understandings of what types of lived circumstances of abuse or neglect can damage health and impair future functioning. Traumatic histories need to be recognized as an expectation rather than an exception among today’s behavioral healthcare service populations, and available treatment needs to be available to meet this critical healing & recovery need. Systems of care have often advanced significantly with understandings of trauma-informed care principles[2], but many have not sufficiently built out their array of clinical services to include access to trauma-specific interventions for better management and resolution of the distressing & life-interfering symptoms of posttraumatic stress. If and as individuals are ineffectively managing the impacts of past trauma, our interventions designed to address the maladaptive coping efforts represented by addiction and other destructive behavior patterns will not succeed without greater effectiveness at addressing & resolving foundational traumatic stress responses. Universal screening with the updated Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Checklist (PCL-5)[3], has been shown to be an invaluable aid to properly informing diagnosis, client education, treatment planning, and outcome measurement to better serve the high percentage of post-traumatically stressed individuals represented among behavioral health client populations. Organization’s trauma-specific treatment options need to be sufficiently established and expanded to be able to provide access to resolution services as such needs are identified. Evidence-based interventions including cognitive-behavioral approaches, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and exposure therapies need to be developed and made accessible/available to clients identified with such needs, along with groupwork curricula such as Seeking Safety &/or the Trauma Recovery & Empowerment (TREM) model, along with appropriate supervision and debriefing support for involved staff. 1  https://lnkd.in/gM8MzuBU 2 Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Series 57. HHS Publication No. (SMA) 13-4801. Rockville, MD: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2014. 3 Weathers, F.W., Litz, B.T., Keane, T.M., Palmieri, P.A., Marx, B.P., & Schnurr, P.P.

Drawing on a decade of clinical research and community practice, this new pocket guide offers a person-centered approach to care that is relevant in multiple settings—which is particularly useful when considering that young people are more likely to receive an initial mental health diagnosis and treatment in a non–behavioral health setting. https://bit.ly/3UJdDF2

Ever heard of the Trauma Traffic Light? 🚦 It’s a simple way to understand your polyvagal state. 🟢 Green is co-connection and safety. 🟡 Yellow is fight or flight — increased heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol. 🔴 Red is shutdown and dissociation. Knowing these states can guide trauma healing. 🙏 https://lnkd.in/g5Kehszu #TraumaHealing #PolyvagalTheory #EMDR #NervousSystem #emdrtherapist #emdrtraining

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic incidents that can harm children's social, cognitive, and emotional development, and disrupt the safe, stable, and nurturing environments they need to thrive. ASTHO's ACEs Capacity Assessment Tool (ACECAT) can guide state and territorial health agencies in using ACEs data for action planning, funding opportunities, technical assistance, and program improvement.
