Testimonials
Great use of two hours!
I really appreciated the availability of useful, take-home
resources.
This training exceeded my expectations. I thought that it would
just be talking 'at me,' and not especially helpful. But it was
great.
This training made me more aware of how to deal with trauma
victims.
One new thing I learned from this training was a better
understanding of brain function as it relates to trauma and the
importance of educating clients about trauma.
This training exceeded my expectations in that it showed me ways
to get more information so I can introduce topics and training
to church youth and families.
