Introduction:

The Matrix of Needs is a new way to understand what it means to be human, and how to best support people to understand that safety is more than one of our human needs, it is the most important of them all.  The Matrix of Needs also recognizes the innate biological drive for social connection, culminating in the apex of the matrix, Interdependent Actualization. Drawing upon research from the biological sciences and the impact of trauma on neurosensory development, the presenter will provide a framework within which participants can begin to identify pathways to healing and wholeness for the individuals they support.

Course Objectives:

To support human service professionals to identify the unmet needs in the lives of the people they support, and how to structure supports to empower people to meet their needs.

  1. Describe the role of safety in meeting human needs

  3. Explain the presence of communication as a human need
