Normalising trauma? – A possible model of psycho education for military families
Lynne Hipkin
Monday 2nd November 2015 at The Ark Conference Centre, Basingstoke
In addition to the 4th Annual Military Psychology Conference we also offered the following pre-conference workshop as part of the Military Psychology Workshops 2015.
The model being presented incorporates neurological, attachment and trauma related research and delivers this in a way that is understandable, jargon-free and applicable in many contexts with special relevance to military families relationships, experience of trauma, secondary trauma, resilience and vulnerability. This workshop will illustrate the core concepts behind the training and encourage participants to explore the ways in which information and awareness can enhance resilience and acknowledge strengths and weaknesses, without stigma.
The workshop will be delivered through a mix of information and experiential activities. It will help participants to think about how they might communicate with personnel and their families in a way that both normalises human responses and highlights the value of relationships in resolving stress and trauma.
The workshop aims at enabling participants to consider a model for psycho education and self-awareness that could furnish members of military and other families with understanding of resilience, trauma and vulnerability.
