“The NASW Trauma Certification Program led by Dr. Jackson was very informative and presented with skill and candor, which I greatly appreciated. Her openness and honesty allowed me to absorb the material and understand it, and I was able to relate to it and apply it to real-world situations. In addition, the course was expertly organized and taught by someone I consider to be a great leader in the field. I highly recommend both Dr. Jackson and this certification program.”
--Jamie Pettus, PsyD, LCP, Clinical Psychologist, CVHS-Southern Albemarle
“I have attended almost every Allison Jackson training available to me, but I still learned more, made more connections, and feel that I am a better clinician after participating in [this] certificate program. I highly recommend social workers of every level of expertise take the time to earn this certification…. Our patients, organizations, and communities are better served when social workers are not only trauma-informed but trauma specialists.”
--Heather Stone, PhD, LCSW, Behavioral Health Director, CVHS-Health Services
Location
All trainings in this series will be virtual (some live sessions, some on-demand sessions.) Registrants will be sent logins and links prior to each session.
Recertification Requirements
This program requires 14-hours of trauma-focused training every 2 years to maintain legitimacy and be recertified. We realize attendees are in various practice areas, so we are providing the following list of suggested types of “trauma-focused” topics for recertification training:
Recertification is required every 2 years on September 30th of even-years. Recertification for participants who receive initial certification in an odd-year will be deferred to the next even-year (i.e. - a participant initially certified in 2021 will not need to submit for recertification until September 30, 2024.) Recertification may be accomplished by completing the “Trauma Recertification Form” online and uploading supporting documentation. Once the Recertification form is submitted, your confirmation email will provide a link to make payment of the $25.00 Trauma Recertification fee.
