Trauma Training for Therapists and the Teams Who Support Them
Mindshift Center offers trauma training for therapists, supervisors, and organizations, taught by experienced clinicians and trainers. Take on-demand CE courses at your own pace, or bring live training to your team.
Trauma Training for Therapists, Shaped by Real Practice
Our trainers bring years of clinical and community experience, so what we teach comes from real work with clients and families. Each course focuses on what you can use with clients the following week, from understanding complex trauma to running a structured group.
Because our team includes Complex Trauma Training Consortium affiliates, the content is grounded in current, evidence-informed practice. We also keep it trauma-responsive, which means changing what we do in response to trauma, not only learning about it.
