Advanced Trauma First Aide™ (Adv-TFA) provides helping professionals with skills that can reduce the symptoms of Traumatic Stress in urgent situations. This workshop builds on the skills learned in Basic TFA and offer tools to increase the capacity to work with acute symptoms in high arousal situations. Advanced TFA supports and strengthens skills that reduce trauma symptoms in urgent situations. Advanced TFA is highly experiential and uses real-life scenarios for participant practice.

TRAUMA FIRST AIDE^TM(TFA) bridges physiology and psychology. Developed as a short term model, TFA teaches skills to reduce symptoms of acute traumatic stress and to stabilize the nervous system in high arousal and urgent situations. TFA is useful for complex trauma, first response, disaster settings, and as a self-care model. TFA skills help health professionals assist their clients reduce their trauma symptoms, giving them a greater sense of self-control. The TFA approach provides direct access to the dysregulated nervous systems of people who have experienced traumatic situations. This allows the establishment of a bridge in the nervous system between survival mode and a return to normal functioning. This workshop explores the nervous system’s role in trauma, differences between cognitive and somatic approaches and the effects of trauma beyond “mental health”. Viewing typical acute traumatic stress symptoms as a dysregulated mind-body system response, we work directly with the trauma symptoms, using an integrative approach. Our focus in TFA is on trauma education, early intervention and the reduction/prevention of secondary traumatization and PTSD by building resilience in the nervous system.
