Recent Traumatic Events Protocol (R-TEP)
Date: Wednesday, October 21st from 7:00-8:00pm
Zoom login information will be emailed to you once you register.
Presenter: Sarah Mandel, RN, LCSW
Event Description: For this month's Union Unit virtual meeting, we will be joined by Sarah Mandel, RN, LCSW, who will present on the Recent Traumatic Events Protocol. R-TEP is a comprehensive therapeutic intervention that incorporates early EMDR intervention (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) reducing sensitization and accumulation of traumatic memories while maintaining client stability and safety. Providing early intervention to the client, before consolidation of the memory has taken place, can help to influence adaptive integration, promote positive coping, and contribute to the development of resilience towards healing.
With the COVID-19 pandemic and current social unrest, many clients may have experienced a recent traumatic event. Join us to learn about the Recent Traumatic Events Protocol and how to support clients who have experienced trauma.
