A foundational requirement for healing from trauma is having enough experiences with others that are not just "trauma-informed", but also "healing-aligned" -- in other words, able to support the type of neuroplasticity the brain needs in order to move towards new realizations of safety. Since many of the behaviours from others that we find most challenging actually have roots in traumatic experiences, healing-aligned care requires skills that are much more than just telling oneself to stay empathic. This 28.5 hour course (accredited by UBC CPD for 28.5 MAINPRO or MOC Section 1 credit hours), dives into brain-based tools and skills for healing-aligned care that can also promote resiliency in the care provider. It is divided into 4 sections: the first is held in person in Banff, Alberta (Banff Park Lodge), and the remainder are online. | Early bird rates last til June 15. ______ Hurry!

Description of Program: This INTENSIVE is designed to give clinicians neurobiologically-based tools for enhancing care of individuals who have experienced psychological trauma, as well as tools to enhance the clinician’s own resiliency and self-care. Foundational frameworks will be reviewed that can help us better understand how trauma is stored in the brain, and how we may use this information to develop strategies for healing approaches that work with the brain, and not against it. Emphasis will be placed on presenting the information in a practically useful manner, instead of just reviewing raw data. Since many of our patients, colleagues, friends and family may have experienced trauma, the material reviewed in this course can also be applied to whatever work we do clinically, as well as to our interactions with peers, staff, colleagues and family members.
NOTE: Participants will be asked to submit a short (Maximum allowed = 1 paragraph) written case (no identifiers allowed) at the start of the course for ongoing small group discussions regarding application of course material.
Participants who attend all sessions, participate in all breakout activities and satisfactorily submit the simple self-reflective assignments will also receive a Certificate of Completion from Beyond the Cycle of Trauma Institute for this course (equivalent to “HCPT 101” in the Institute’s series).
