Trauma Informed Practices

Trauma Informed Practices is a professional development course designed for participants working in a non-clinical capacity. Central to this course is an indepth look at the scope of practice, limitations of practice, and the importance of intake and referral processes. With the prevalence and pervasiveness of trauma, this course will provide a framework for working with clients through safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment.

Using therapeutic arts as a modality for exploration and expression beyond words, participants will recognize the importance of using the art-making process and media to provide a sense of self, foster trust in the therapeutic relationship and collaboratively work with their clients to discover creative techniques to use outside of the session to self-soothe and regulate in professional and personal settings.
