Custom training options or trauma certification trainings are available in your area for groups of all sizes. There is no minimum or maximum number of participants.

Please find attached information regarding an upcoming evidence-based trauma intervention training hosted by Community Living Port Colborne. Presentations will provide insight around trauma symptoms and differential diagnosis (such as grief, ADHD, and oppositional behaviours) as well as insight into SAMHSA approved evidence based training in structured sensory intervention. Learn about the impact that trauma has on our brain, body, and behaviours inclusive of impact on implicit and explicit memory. Learn why cognitive-based interventions can be limited in their effectiveness for trauma intervention and how to implement trauma informed services within your organization.
Please note: although the workshop is called Children in Trauma, it applies to all ages, a foundational understanding of how trauma impacts allows clinicians working with adults to understand why behaviours, symptoms, experiences etc happen the way they do. Trauma often occurs in childhood and this workshop will inform professionals about the impact this trauma experience(s) can have on future behavior, emotions, as well as psychological, physiological, and neurological functioning. I have used the children’s programs for a few years now with great success with ages 2 – 17. I have also had marked success in using the Adults in Trauma Program over the past 1.5 years with individuals experiencing PTSD as a result of various trauma experiences (war, abuse, attachment, car accidents, domestic violence etc.).
This is an excellent training opportunity for anyone working in a helping capacity with any age group and it is the first time this has been offered locally. If you have any questions, please contact me directly. To register complete the attached information and forward to Community Living.

What do items such as aerosol cans, tootsie-rolls, candy necklaces, plastic bags, cotton balls, and hair “scrunchies” have in common? How would you respond to the following from a youth, “Have you ever used drugs?” or “Wow that was a great party everyone was so wasted.” By the end of this presentation you will be familiar with drug culture current trends, youth perspectives and how to help them find a new normal away from substance abuse. Participants will also learn the impact that trauma and attachment have on addiction behaviours and how to regulate and replace harmful behaviours with healthier alternatives.
