Certification Overview
Through each module students learn practical assessments, up-to-date approaches to treatment, and essential intervention techniques for treating clients. Each training module is designed to not only explain the different holistic approaches used in treating trauma survivor, but to actually allow the participants to learn from their own experiences during the training. This process will allow for growth, acceptance and open the participants eyes to the vast number of approaches used in trauma treatment.
