ATTCH holds many professional development training events to help professionals become trauma informed, learn trauma-specific treatment approaches, enhance their clinical skills, and promote wellness within clinical practice.
We hold annual trauma and attachment conferences, typically in the spring, summer and fall and several workshops throughout the year. Most of our conferences teach people how to use our Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM) ®.
