To qualify for the advanced training, you must have first completed the free prerequisite online course, Core Components and Skills for Trauma Informed Practice that is available now. Completion of the prerequisite is required because the advanced training builds upon the foundational information presented in the prerequisite online course. This course promotes the understanding and use of 12 common evidence- and trauma-informed practice elements, such as trauma assessment, safety planning, and behavioral interventions, for use in the treatment of children, youth, and families exposed to trauma. The practice elements are introduced through three case-vignettes developed by nationally recognized trauma experts and are filmed with therapists and clients varying by age, race, ethnicity, and gender. Case discussions are facilitated by Drs. Virginia Strand and Sarah E. (Betsy) Bledsoe. Four and a half free continuing education credits for ASWB, NBCC, and APA are offered. Additional information for the prerequisite course including registration and continuing education credit can be found at:
