Introduction to Trauma Sensitive Practice

An understanding of trauma provides a good foundation for work with any client. Statistics indicate that 30%- 80% of clients seen by psychotherapists have experienced some form of trauma. Yet many practitioners have received little education about the impact of trauma on clients’ lives and the therapeutic relationship. This 8 week class provides an introduction to
trauma sensitive practice.

Space is limited to 10 participants. Registration closes October 8.
