Graduate Certificate in Complex Trauma & Child Sexual Abuse Intervention

The Graduate Certificate in Complex Trauma & Child Sexual Abuse Intervention values theoretical, experiential and applied learning that is learner-centered and informed by current research and practice.

This program is for counsellors, therapists, psychologists, clinical social workers, mental-health, child and youth care and other practitioners with a Bachelor's or Master’s Degree or equivalent work/study experience, who are working with children, adolescents and/or adult survivors of complex trauma and child sexual abuse.

The program takes an integrative approach to the assessment and treatment of complex trauma and child sexual abuse, drawing on the most current clinical and evidence-based material on effective complex trauma intervention, as well as the most recent research on attachment, neurobiology, memory and dissociation.

This 30-day program is situated within an understanding of culturally relevant practice and how multiple identities, social locations and historical contexts inform theory and practice.
