Summer Trauma and Attachment Certification Series
ATTCH is pleased to be offering another summer conference series based on request on July 15-19 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. This comprehensive conference will cover the following topics and allow you to take your trauma processing to a deeper level:
Day 1: Foundations of Trauma and Attachment (core CTIP & CTIC training)
Day 2: Phase-Based Clinical Applications to Promote Healing and Integration of Trauma and Attachment Dysregulation
Day 3: Comprehensive Trauma Assessment
Day 4: Trauma Processing Experiential
Day 5 AM: The Use of Mindfulness, Somatic Awareness, Resourcing, and DBT Skills Training to Promote Regulation and Wellness
Day 5 PM: An Introduction to Biofeedback and Neurofeedback for Treating Trauma
Days 1 & 2: Day 1 Understanding the Foundations of Trauma and Attachment & Day 2 Phase-Based Clinical Applications to Promote Healing and Integration of Trauma and Attachment Dysregulation
The fields of attachment and trauma research and intervention are growing rapidly. It is apparent that this is an area all clinicians can benefit from training in as it crosses all sectors and populations in some manner. However, we know that it can be difficult to keep up with all of the readings and resources. As this is our area of specialization, let us share what we have learned through our literature and research reviews and what we have effectively put into practice with you in an engaging and practical manner. This comprehensive two-day training will provide insight into current trauma, attachment, and neuroscience research ensuring an understanding of critical information and best practice strategies for working with trauma. This training will also help you to enhance your clinical skills and learn how you can add trauma regulation and attachment healing strategies to your repertoire.
Day 2 will focus on putting it into practice. Through this training participants will learn how to make historical connections, complete initial assessments, and formulate trauma-informed treatment planning. Participants will learn about phase-based treatment of complex trauma and review of best practice and evidence-based approaches will also be experienced.
Upon completion of training participants will have a strong understanding of:
Trauma-Informed Care
The Neuroscience of Trauma, Addictions, Mental Health and Violence
Sensory Regulation
Boundaries, Self-Compassion, and Healthy Relationships
Both days will be rich with research, practical examples, case studies, experiential activities, and opportunities for self-reflection.
Trauma Processing Experiential
Pre-requisite* completion of CTIC foundational 2-day training (Foundations of Trauma & Understanding the Foundations of Trauma & Attachment & Phase-Based Clinical Applications to Promote Healing and Integration of Trauma and Attachment Dysregulation
If you are looking to gain hands on experience with trauma processing practices introduced in the core training than this workshop is for you. This workshop takes participants through experiential of various techniques and allows for discussion, questions, and reflections from participants at a deeper level as it is facilitated in a small group format.
Healing the Wounds of Sexual Abuse
This workshop will provide insights into the far-reaching impact of sexual abuse. An understanding of how this impacts neurological, emotional, behavioural, physiological and relational responses will be explored. Techniques to discover associations and create new neuropathways will be included. Strategies to help form new meaning of intimacy, boundaries, and reconnection with our body as a resource will also be included. Interview techniques to increase response rates, reframing tools and activities to promote healing are also included in this workshop. Experiential activities and case examples will be woven throughout this full-day training.
Trauma-Informed Clinical Supervision
This workshop will introduce participants to key aspects of clinical supervision, common themes, and recommendations to enhance practice through a trauma-informed lens.
This course is recommended for both new and experienced supervisors. It is recommended that participants have previously completed our core trauma training (Day 1 Understanding the Foundations of Trauma and Attachment, Day 2 Phase-Based Clinical Applications to Promote Healing and Integration of Trauma and Attachment Dysregulation and Day 3 Trauma Processing Experiential)
Providing clinical supervision through a trauma-informed lens allows for a shift in how we attune to our clients, consultees as well as ourselves. This workshop will teach participants how to apply trauma-informed principles within an individual, peer and group supervision context. Participants will be trained to facilitate supervision in a manner that promotes self-reflection, trauma-informed practice and growth in supervisees. This workshop will also introduce participants to restorative self-care practices that they can weave into their practice with clients, supervisees and in their own lives. We will also discuss effective techniques for discharging and preventing secondary traumatic stress when something sticks with us as the helper or supervisor.
The format of this 1-day training workshop will be a mix of didactic and experiential activities. Optional further training / certification is also available:this would include 5, 2-hour group consultations focused on supervision through a trauma-informed lens. Required readings and self-reflection exercises will be prescribed as part of a home study component of the training. Consultations will be focused on required readings, the applied supervision process and feedback around providing clinical supervision in a trauma-informed manner. An exam will be completed as well to ensure synthesis of course content.
