Course Description: 

In our work with children and families, we are often supporting them in identifying and healing from trauma.  As Case Managers and Peer Partners, understanding and supporting trauma symptoms within your role is of great value.  In this training, you will be introduced to best practices within the Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) model.

This training is intended for case managers or peer support staff, to provide guidance on how to best support clients receiving TF-CBT Treatment.
