This lunchtime “brown bag” will give a practical and straightforward overview of the neurophysiology of trauma. We will pay special attention to how working with traumatized populations can disrupt the autonomic nervous system and how this “secondary trauma” can impact our health and relationships.

Missoula is hosting this month’s brown bag series in the Vicarious Trauma Response Initiative collaborative.

  • Plus the speaker, Dr. Colter Ellis is in Bozeman! Let’s give him a warm welcome and lots of support from Montana.
