This is a must-do workshop for all those working with trauma.
Workshop Details
This workshop will support you in carrying out a trauma-informed assessment in both an agency setting and private practice (both short and long term work).

- Longer term implicit goals (e.g. relational patterns)
- Your clients nervous system default
- Mild, moderate and severe mental health issues
- Provide appropriate psycho-ed
