Certificate Program in Responding to Trauma and Grief for Indigenous Communities and Organizations

This five-day program blends Indigenous cultural practices with a Western clinical approach to responding to grief and trauma. It will be co-facilitated by gifted Indigenous and non-Indigenous trainers. Together they will offer a relational approach to sharing and understanding traditional teachings, the personal impacts of trauma, and locating ourselves on the ongoing journey of reconciliation. Participants will have the opportunity to consider both clinical and cultural approaches for responding to those experiencing trauma and grief.

Workshops Include

• Vicarious Trauma – Strategies for Resilience
• Trauma – Counselling Strategies for Healing and Resilience
• Walking With Grief – Helping Others Deal with Loss
