Trauma Informed Assessment Certificate Program

Have you ever felt uncertain asking about certain types of trauma?  Are you worried that you are going to do more harm by asking? Do you get concerned when talking about sensitive issues like sexual abuse with young children? Do you feel uncertain about what comes next after you assess for impact of trauma?  

There has been an explosion of science that supports the need for trauma responsive approaches in children’s mental health. Yet very few practitioners feel confident enough to competently assess the impact of trauma on children and youth. The George Hull Centre Institute of Childhood Trauma and Attachment is pleased to offer this previously sold-out comprehensive course for professionals that will improve clinicians’ skills in assessing and treating trauma in children and youth.
