On October 9th, the Center presented a training with Dr. Sandra Bloom on the psychobiological effects of trauma and an introduction to trauma-informed approaches to providing services and supports to traumatized individuals. The majority of participants were Philadelphia Police Officers representing the divisions of Victims Assistance, Major Crimes, and Homocide. Other represented organizations include St. Christopher's Hospital for Children and Every Murder is Real, which provides support and services to the families and friends ("co-victims") of homicide.
The Center plans to hold such trainings on a regular basis, exploring various topics related to trauma. Those interesting in being on our contact list for future trainings should contact us.
