Mission: Trauma Certificate Program
The Trauma Certificate Program provides a foundational understanding of trauma theory and presents principles, tools and strategies that enable trauma-informed practice in service and treatment settings that support recovery and healing for adults and children and reduce inadvertent harm. Cultural considerations, ethical principles of practice, and the impact of trauma and appropriate support on direct service staff are also considered.
This series is appropriate for post-master's level clinical practitioners.

Brains, Biology, and Behavior
4 CEUs and/or 2 Act 48 credits
This course maps the connection between the brain, our behavior and how we navigate the world. Distilling the complications of neuroscience and cognitive development, this course empowers clinicians to both understand and explain how the brain works and in what ways trauma, substances, and social support impact how we hurt and heal. Secondly, this course would explain how our interventions directly impact the brains and biological functioning of our clients. Learning objectives include: 1) in-depth information and insight into how our brains, Central Nervous System and Neurochemicals impact behavior; 2) information regarding how trauma and toxic stress directly impact brain productivity, neurochemical production and utilization, and parasympathetic responses; and 3) identification of ways that this information can enhance, influence, or alter our efforts in engagement and intervention.
