Republican Journal advances Hutchinson Center program on trauma, relationships
The Republican Journal reported the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast will offer a two-day professional development program, “Past Trauma and Current Relationships: Integrating Nonviolent Communication and Interpersonal Neurobiology,” Nov. 5–6. The program will benefit participants from a variety of fields, including for-profit and nonprofit sectors, education, health care, criminology and social services. The goal of the interactive program is to explore how early life experiences, including traumas such as adverse childhood experiences, affect how we relate to people now, according to the report. Participants will have the opportunity to gain clarity about how the brain responds to challenging situations, and will experience new insights into choices leading to authentic relationships, the article states.
