Most trauma trainings tell you that trauma is common and that safety matters, and then send everyone
back to a caseload they still do not know what to do with.
This one is built for the room you actually work in.
I am a Black, trauma-trained Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and EMDRIA-certified
therapist with eleven years across schools, hospice, medical social work, crisis response and
corrections. I train clinical teams, agencies, schools and community organisations across the
country. Training is delivered live and online, so location is not a constraint.
What the training covers
What trauma does to a nervous system, in language your team can use on Monday.
How trauma presents in the people you actually serve — not the textbook version. Rural clients.
Clients with serious and persistent mental illness. Autistic and ADHD clients whose distress gets
read as behaviour. Clients whose history includes systems as well as people.
Stabilisation and resourcing before processing, and how to tell which one the moment calls for.
Why the phrase “treatment resistant” usually describes a mismatch rather than a client.
What trauma-informed means at the level of policy, intake, physical space and documentation — not
just what happens in the room.
Vicarious trauma in your staff, and what an organisation can actually do about it.
Who it is for
Clinical teams and agencies. Schools and school-based mental health staff. Community and non-profit
organizations. Community Mental Health, mental health providers, teachers, parents, families, caregivers, providers, Medical and hospice teams. Groups of clinicians organizing their own training.
No EMDR training or certification required to attend. Much of what makes trauma work effective is
available to any clinician, and the certification route is out of financial reach for most people who
need the skills. This training exists partly because of that.
Format and fees
Half-day and full-day formats, delivered live online. Sessions can be tailored to your setting,
your population and your team’s existing training. Multi-session series are available for teams who
want depth rather than a one-off.
Fees depend on length and audience size. Email for a quote — I will give you a straight number.
