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.
