Sexual Assault & The Brain: The Neurobiology of Trauma (1.5 CEUs available)

The physiological components of trauma, including neurobiology and nervous system dysregulation, are the main focus of this training. We will discuss how traumatic experiences can alter brain function, resulting in experiences and behaviors that are commonly misunderstood by professionals working with survivors of sexual assault. Participants will leave with an understanding of brain development and functioning as it relates to sexual assault as well as common, involuntary responses to sexual assault, and how to apply these concepts to increase safety and care for survivors. 

Mad Hatter is back and presented by Old National Bank!

Now in its 34th year, this event, voted one of Nashville's most fashionable parties, brings 400+ community members together each fall to celebrate and support survivors of sexual violence. Guests will enjoy an auction that elevates every year, food stations, engaging mission moments, and much more.
