Description
This session explores the skills common to emotional intelligence and trauma informed responses. These skills ask participants to consider trauma-responsive emotional intelligence (TREQ) as a foundation in recovery that addresses social determinants of health. The skills people develop in TREQ are helpful for all trauma-exposed individuals who may be at risk for addiction and for individuals who are deep into their recovery.
Learning Objectives
  • Participants will be able to recognize the relationship among substance use, emotional Intelligence, and trauma-informed care.
  • Participants will be able to discuss how developing skills in identifying strengths, developing self-regulation and the use of inner connections supports reduction of need to use.
  • Participants will be able to describe mechanisms for building individual and collective sturdiness using the skills taught.
