CSUN Offers Workshop on Crisis and Trauma Intervention

The "Psychological First Aid: Crisis and Trauma Intervention Workshop" will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the Business Auditorium 101 in the west side of the campus near Etiwanda Avenue and Plummer Street.

Marriage and family counselor Nickie Godfrey will discuss a psychodynamic model of crisis intervention for dealing with personal trauma and relieving stress during a large-scale disaster. Godfrey's materials will cover alienation, isolation, depersonalization and guilt.

Affordable fees and continuing education units are offered to Marriage Family Child Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers and educators.

This is one of a series of workshops the university's Centers in Educational Psychology and Counseling are offering this spring to help mental health professionals keep abreast of changes and information in their field.

The series is approved by the California Association of Counseling and Development, the California Psychological Association Accrediting Agency and the Board of Behavioral Sciences.

It is designed to provide quality continuing education and training to licensed counselors, teachers, school psychologists, interns and other mental health professionals.
