WATSA is excited to offer a 90 minute training:

Incorporating Polyvagal Approaches and the Neurobiology of Trauma n Treatment of Sexually Abusive Behavior

Research shows that individuals with sexually abusive behavior experience trauma at higher rates than the general population; however, there is a paucity of research exploring the incorporation of trauma-informed approaches with those who have engaged in sexually abusive behavior. How might our existing approaches to working with this population be overlooking, or worse, exacerbating symptoms related to trauma? In this workshop, we will explore how to incorporate a basic understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and polyvagal theory into practices for individuals with sexually abusive behavior.
