This training explores the social and emotional consequences of sexual trauma through a trauma-informed and attachment-based lens\, helping professionals better understand how trauma shapes self-concept\, trust\, emotional regulation\, and interpersonal functioning. Participants will examine how experiences of sexual harm influences behavior. The training will also address how trauma responses may be misinterpreted as resistance\, avoidance\, aggression\, or instability\, when in fact they are adaptive survival strategies. Special attention will be given to the role of attachment injuries\, developmental timing\, cultural context\, and systemic factors that compound the emotional aftermath of sexual trauma. Attendees will gain practical tools to support survivors in rebuilding safety\, emotional regulation\, relational capacity\, and self-worth. Through case examples\, reflective discussion\, and practical application\, this training equips professionals to respond with greater clinical attunement\, empathy\, and effectiveness. \nOne and a Half Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

Participants will learn simple\, accessible strategies for connecting everyday program data to broader community impact\, research-supported outcomes\, and even potential economic value. Through real-world examples and straightforward tools\, the session will demonstrate how nonprofits can tell a stronger story about mission effectiveness without investing in expensive evaluation systems.

Why Choosing Each Other is The Way to Go... DESCRIPTION:This session explores the purpose and function of DEIB+ (Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, Belonging\, and related practices)\, with particular attention to distinguishing inclusion from belonging.

Participants will also reflect on the values that exist beneath common DEIB+ language and social trends\, identifying practical\, sustainable actions that foster meaningful relationships and strengthen cultures of belonging in their communities and organizations. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).
