Example Curriculum
Our online courses
Our online courses were originally designed and created for the professional development of practitioners in the field of mental health. Over the last few years, however, there was an increase in interest from our clients, their caregivers and others to find out more about trauma.
These self-guided courses are ideal to learn in your own time in your own space.
