Level 3: Ethics of the Trauma-Informed Care Trainings
A Guide to Using Trauma-Informed Somatic Principles & Practices in a Clinical Setting.
SELF-PACED TRAINING

This Level 3 Ethics of Trauma-Informed Care training will build upon the principles and practices from Level 1 and 2 to help therapists continue to integrate these into a clinical setting. 

In this training, we expand on ways to integrate Polyvagal Theory into a clinical setting for both personal and professional use.

We will learn enhanced somatic practices to stimulate the vagus nerve and regulate the autonomic nervous system for both self-regulation and co-regulation.

Therapists interact with trauma survivors every day, and secondary trauma's effects can have long-lasting impacts. Because trauma-informed care begins with the practitioner, this training focuses on teaching simple, effective interventions to create safety and trust with clients and colleagues.

​Participants will leave with a wide variety of tools so they can better lead their agency, unit or team toward becoming a more trauma-informed organization.
