Beginning in spring of 2014, TTI presented trainings on topics

relating to trauma-informed services. We were able to offer these

workshops at no cost thanks to a grant from the Pennsylvania

Commission on Crime and Delinquency.

Among the trauma-specific interventions we highlighted were:

Seeking Safety and TREM. We also provided education and

technical assistance on trauma-informed organization culture change,

self-help workshops for clinicians and supervisors, and trainings

focusing on specific trauma-exposed populations.

We are pleased to offer the final training in this project on

March 11, 2016 to assist clinicians to more effectively work in

Group settings with clients and consumers who have experienced

trauma.

We welcome feedback on the topics presented in the

trauma-informed training series, as well as other courses we offer.

We strive to program our training institute with quality education on

relevant issues and topics of interest and utility to the field.

If you would like to see a particular workshop and/or trainer

included in an upcoming training series, please share your thoughts
