Essentials of Healing Trauma Course

Essentials of Healing Trauma Course

This immersive and highly experiential course was designed to provide NPs and nurses a solid foundation for assessing, treating, and guiding trauma survivors toward healing. A holistic approach to trauma that includes addressing issues related to the body, mind, and spirit is taken to help the patient gain control over biological responses to trauma, subconscious processes that impact behavior, and spiritual challenges that affect the connection with one’s self and the world in general.

This 32-hour training is designed to improve the quality of treatment for those that have experienced trauma by providing a working knowledge of how to engage in the process of trauma treatment. The course not only focuses on interventions but how to sequence the interventions to maximize outcomes.

This course provides 24 CEUs approved by the Florida Board of Nursing that can count toward the CEU requirements necessary for certification as a Trauma Treatment Specialist with the Association of Traumatic Stress Specialists.

Upon completion of the course, each participant will receive a trauma therapist toolkit filled with assessment instruments, treatment protocols, and intervention worksheets to be utilized in your practice.

This course has been created to be experiential for participants. Introspection and self-evaluation will be strongly encouraged. The program will provide you with an understanding of techniques and models that enable you to improve your clinical skills, but it will also provide you with the opportunity to do your own work to help you become a practitioner who is both internally and externally equipped to face the challenges of working with traumatized clients. Please consider if you are emotionally prepared to participate in a course that may sometimes be triggering if you have a traumatic background. While we will support one another as a group, it is recommended that you also have your own mental health support system.

I came to learn about trauma, but got so much more! This course is transformational both professionally and personally. Highly recommend!
