How to Respond in a Trauma Informed Way to Someone Who Discloses a Traumatic Experience

Traumatic experiences happen every day and CU Boulder students are not exempt. This session focuses on skills that address how to respond to someone after they disclose a traumatic or life disrupting event. After a traumatic experience, usually friends, mentors, and family are the first to hear about it. How people respond matters and can impact healing and whether the survivor will seek additional support. This session also includes information for responsible employees on complying with their reporting requirements in a trauma informed way.
