Description
Presenter: Dr. Roderick Logan, DPTh, CCTS, CFTP, FFTT
During this training we will seek to further understand the trauma experienced by the men, women, and children who lived through cultural cleansing (i.e. Holocaust & Genocide). We will take a glimpse at the subsequent impact that trauma has had on the quality of life for the men and women who lived after the liberation of the ghettos and camps; as well as come to appreciate the significance that trauma continues to wreak on the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren born to those who lived through the trauma of the Holocaust.
This information will be relevant and most helpful for caregivers of survivors as well as the many counselors, therapists, social workers, medical professionals, and advocates for healing and justice. Of course, let us not overlook the children and grandchildren of those who lived through the catastrophe.
Objectives:
1. Understand the neurological and biological impact the Holocaust had on the men and women who experienced, were exposed to, and who lived through its horrors
2. Gain an awareness that the neurological and biological consequences of the Holocaust are still active in next generation people
3. Elevate compassion; expand tolerance and embrace principles that will serve to build resiliency and achieve a sustainable resolve
