POWER IN PRESENCE (Care Plus NJ)
The Power in Presence Workshop uses a compassionate technique to work through triggers and other symptoms of trauma, without talking about the trauma event. The technique is called GTEP or Group Traumatic Episode Protocol. It was formed through an evidence-based therapy called EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This one-time group is facilitated by individuals trained in GTEP where they ’ll use specific guidelines to respect the privacy for all participants.
Youth ages 5-18 are eligible to participate who have been identified as victims of trauma through use of the Traumatic Stress Screen for Children and Adolescents, a tool we use to identify
symptoms of traumatic stress.
Also available for Spanish Speaking youth.
