Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM) Training

Description

The Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM) is a gender-based trauma model designed to address issues of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse in the lives of women who have been economically and socially marginalized and for whom traditional recovery work has been unavailable or ineffective. The model was developed by clinicians at Community Connections in Washington, D.C. with considerable input from consumers. TREM uses a psycho-educational focus and skill-building approach, emphasizes survivor empowerment and peer support and teaches women techniques for self-soothing, boundary maintenance and current problem solving.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will learn the four core assumptions, which provide the foundation for the TREM approach to trauma recovery work.
2. Participants will learn specific leader techniques used in the TREM model.
3. Participants will practice running a TREM group by being a TREM mock group leader and a TREM mock group participant.
4. Participants will understand the complex and multiple connections between trauma, mental health symptoms, and substance abuse.
5. Participants will learn how and when to use grounding techniques with consumers in group.
