A 42- hour Certificate Program developed for MSW Practitioners interested in a Virginia NASW Certification for Trauma-Informed Assessment and Trauma Informed Care. The training will offer an inclusive developmental trauma conceptual framework and related research and practice-based intervention strategies for effective trauma care.
Certificate Training Program Overview
In the last 10 years, there has been increasing recognition in cutting-edge research, in the literature and in human services practice arenas that successful intervention with individuals, families and children who are trauma survivors or are currently in traumatic circumstances, requires specialized and nuanced clinical knowledge and training for identification and successful and sustained treatment outcomes. This 42-hour intensive Certificate Training Program, grounded in the context of the NASW Code of Ethics, is especially designed to address this specialty education requirement for clinical practitioners.
The program will offer a cumulative and comprehensive approach for an in-depth understanding of trauma, including the neuroscience (biological) perspectives of trauma and trauma-mediated socio-emotional and psychological behavioral responses. The training will include both didactic and experiential methods. Participants will be expected to actively engage in case assessment and practice application of theory and intervention utilizing the 12 Core Concepts of Trauma Intervention and the Trauma Systems Therapy Intervention model (Saxe, Ellis & Kaplow, 2016). The curriculum will include specialized knowledge for identification of trauma survivor behavioral characteristics (symptoms/sequelae; identification and intervention for DSM-5 indicated types of Posttraumatic responses, and complex trauma presentations including child physical and sexual abuse sequelae and client medication implications for social work practitioners.
Participants will also be exposed to the impact of historical/generational trauma included in the content covering the impact of trauma on brain development that poses special developmental behavioral challenges for individuals, families and children
This trauma-specific Certificate Training Program is both intensive and comprehensive and will prepare MSW social work graduates with an advanced level of training that meets CSWE practice competency skill sets in trauma intervention with individuals and families. Additionally, the specific intervention strategies from Trauma Systems Therapy that will be offered may also be successfully applied to practice with groups.
