Self Guided Certificate In Trauma Counselling And Support

This program gives participants an opportunity to develop a set of competencies to effectively support people who have experienced trauma.

The road to trauma recovery is complex and challenging, strewn with potential obstacles that counsellors may find overwhelming. Evidence-based counselling approaches are needed to navigate this road and guide a person safely along it. This program provides a variety of strategies for trauma counselling. Participants will learn skills for establishing safety and self-regulation, dealing with flashbacks and other post-traumatic symptoms, healing through body-oriented strategies, and promoting resilience.

Core/mandatory workshops:

Vicarious Trauma – Strategies for Resilience

*Trauma – Counselling Strategies for Healing and Resilience

Body-Oriented Trauma Counselling Strategies

Critical Incident Group Debriefing

Trauma-Informed Care – Building a Culture of Strength

*This workshop should be taken before Body-Oriented Trauma Counselling Strategies

Elective workshops:

Elective workshops make up the additional hours of training you need to reach 60 hours. These can be chosen from CTRI’s in-person, live virtual, or on-demand workshops. Suggested elective workshops to complete this certificate are: Crisis Response Planning, Suicide Intervention Skills, and Walking with Grief. You can find all our available workshop topics here.
