Hello All,

I am in search of some kind of non-counseling TIC credential.  I do trainings with other service providers and organizations on trauma and TIC. I do not do individual direct service. Much of what I have done to this point has been self-taught. It would be great to have an official credential or certification of some kind that says to others "I know what I'm talking about." BTW, I am located in Pennsylvania. Thanks for the help!

Hi Mark, I'm in your boat!  UWGPSNJ may have something, or the Institute of Family professionals but I'm not sure.  I'm also in PA (Pottstown) and would be interested in following up on what you find out.

I am near Harrisburg, PA.  This looks interesting and I am considering going to it. Cathy, can you give any more information about the workshop beyond what is on the internet since we are pretty far away and want to be sure it meets our needs. Thanks so much for sharing this information. Ellen

Ellen,

Below is an outline of the workshop goals, learning objectives and the schedule for the day. Also, we have a block of rooms reserved for a reduced price. We have offered this workshop around the country for specific audiences (CASA, foster parents, domestic violence shelter staff, alternative school team, and more). This is the first time we are offering it to an open audience. We decided to open this workshop to an open audience due to a large number of requests to do so.

Goals:

1. Understand how the information from evidenced-based trauma/adversity research can be translated into skills used daily for better outcomes
2. Practice and learn the Coaching Model of communication
3. Understand how self-care is essential to implementing trauma informed service
4. Understand how team care is essential to implementing trauma informed service

Format: lecture, discussion, small group activities, individual-reflective activities

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will gain an overview of the evidenced-based trauma/adversity research
• Participants will gain an overview of the concept of Resilience and how it forms
• Participants will understand the Trauma Care Stages
• Participants will learn the link between self-care and implementing trauma informed service
• Participants will learn how self-care is different than stress relief
• Participants will learn the importance of personal trauma awareness is and how personal trauma/adversity can impact clients
• Participants will have an opportunity to begin creating self-care plans
• Participants will gain an overview and have opportunities to practice the Coaching Model of service to create better outcomes for clients
• Participants will understand why community care is important and how understanding trauma/adversity can serve to unite
• Participants will understand how community care sustains the use of trauma informed care in the community

RECOMMENDED FOR: Foster Parents, CASA and other high risk youth volunteers, Social Workers, Teachers, Court Employees (Staff), Attorneys, Judges, Board Members of Non Profits, Physcians, Physcian Assistants, Nurses, and all those who work with those impacted by trauma.

Thank you Cathy, 

Is the best airport to fly into Lansing, MI?  Ellen

Ellen, 

You may find it is more affordable to fly into Detroit and renting a car. Lansing is about 50 miles from the Detroit airport.

~ Cathy

Ellen,

However, it would be faster to fly into Lansing and take a taxi. Please let me know if you'd like me to reserve you a hotel room at Michigan State where we (Shenandoah Chefalo and me) are staying.

I am also in PA (Lancaster) and am definitely interested in this topic as well.  Glad to see so many areas of PA represented on AcesConnection!
