Raising Our Voice Series: Trauma Defined From A Hybrid Lens - 1 Optional ethics CEU

$15.00

Annie Chen interviews Nicole Hayes, BCBA, LMSW, as she shares about her unique experience pursuing an LMSW after she became a BCBA and how this influences her clinical lens of what trauma is.

We explore trauma through a clinical, neurodevelopmental, and ethical lens, bridging the gap between traditional ABA practices and trauma-informed care. Drawing from the lived experience of a veteran, LMSW, and BCBA, we dive into how personal history shapes clinical perspectives, how chronic stress influences behavior, and how trauma is often misunderstood in both everyday language and within the DSM.

Participants will gain tools to differentiate learned behavior from trauma-driven responses, recognize the impact of provider biases, and understand the critical timing of feedback and supervision.

Finally, we discuss practical strategies for BCBAs to ethically advocate, or “raise their voice,” in today’s field.

Raise Your Voice: Stories That Shape Us

An ongoing ACT and trauma-informed dialogue and interview series that centers ABA practitioners’ lived experiences as meaningful learning contexts within behavior analysis. This series recognizes that personal and professional learning histories cannot be separated, and that sustainable clinical growth requires space for emotional processing, reflection, and healing. Through reflective storytelling, values-based dialogue, and holistic behavior analytical exercises, participants are supported in practicing vulnerability, processing burnout and self-doubt, and cultivating self-trust, emotional resilience, and psychological flexibility—making this experience both a CEU and a space for personal growth. These events prioritizes psychological safety and a trauma-informed learning environment.
