BACH's CROPs [NEW] Trauma Workshop Series
BACH's new trauma workshop series is designed for social workers, LPCs, and other mental health professionals. The series (via Zoom) has been developed to support healing, resilience, and community. The series begin on November 1st with Part 1, “Church Hurt: A Clinically Therapeutic Conversation about Religious Trauma.” Part 2 - Chronic illness & Trauma: Exploring Trauma Through the Lens of Chronic Illness will be on December 13th; it will be approximately one and a half hours long; 1.5 hours LPC CEUs have been approved (11/23/2025); awaiting approvel for 1.5 hours of social work CEUs.
Throughout these workshops, participants will engage in compassionate dialogue, evidence-based practices, and peer-centered learning. Whether you’re a survivor, advocate, practitioner, or simply seeking tools for personal growth, this series offers a space to explore the effects of trauma and pathways toward healing and restoration.
Lastly, the series will focus on themes with broad community and public health implications. Yet, it will also intentionally highlight the intersections of HIV/AIDS (and other chronic conditions), LGBTQ health, and trauma. Each workshop will ensure these populations and issues remain central to the conversation, rather than peripheral. Additionally, the importance of medication as a tool for healing and wellness, when appropriate, will be emphasized throughout the series. This approach ensures the workshops are both inclusive and clinically grounded.
Thank you to ViiV Healthcare for being the Title Sponsor for the series.
