This training provides an overview of the neurobiological impact of trauma and its relevance for clinical practice, including how trauma exposure is associated with changes in primary brain structures involved in threat detection, emotion regulation, and memory processing (Shin & Liberzon, 2010; van der Kolk, 2014). The course will also examine how trauma affects the autonomic nervous system, including patterns of hyperarousal and shutdown that shape clients’ internal experiences and responses (Porges, 2011). Participants will learn how these neurobiological adaptations may present in clinical settings and influence engagement in treatment. Emphasis will be placed on applying this knowledge to case conceptualization and treatment planning, helping clinicians understand client responses as adaptive survival mechanisms rather than pathology. Grounded in current research, this training aims to support clinicians in integrating neurobiological principles into trauma-informed, evidence-based care.

Although moral injury is highly prevalent among trauma-exposed therapy clients (Bryan et al., 2013), it is not well understood and often goes unaddressed in a clinical setting. In this training, Dr. Brooke Bartlett, Ph.D., will provide mental health clinicians with foundational information about moral injury among trauma-exposed therapy clients. The training will define moral injury, identify symptoms of moral injury, differentiate moral injury and posttraumatic stress, and discuss the theoretical framework for how moral injury develops. It will also identify populations that are at higher risk of developing moral injury. Lastly, Dr. Bartlett will also discuss scientifically supported assessment tools for moral injury, and barriers to assessment and identification.

Moral injury (MI), along with trauma-related guilt and shame, is highly prevalent among trauma- exposed clients and is associated with more severe and treatment-resistant mental health outcomes (Norman et al., 2022). Trauma-Informed Guilt Reduction Therapy (TrIGR) is an evidence-based intervention developed to directly target maladaptive guilt and moral injury following traumatic exposure. This two-day, 10-hour intensive training provides an in-depth, applied examination of the TrIGR protocol. Participants will move beyond an introductory overview to develop a working understanding of the model, including case formulation, protocol structure, and clinical decision- making. The training will cover appropriate case selection, contraindications, and common clinical challenges in implementation. Participants will also learn how to flexibly apply TrIGR across a range of trauma presentations and treatment settings through guided instruction, case examples, and protocol demonstration. By the conclusion of the training, participants will be equipped to implement TrIGR with greater fidelity and clinical confidence.

First responders operate within a distinct occupational culture, and without a working understanding of that culture, clinicians may overlook critical factors that influence engagement, trust, symptom presentation, and treatment outcomes (SAMHSA, 2018). This introductory training provides clinicians with foundational knowledge necessary to practice culturally competent therapy with first responders. Participants will examine the importance of cultural competence in this population, review common mental health challenges disproportionately impacting first responders (Violanti et al., 2017), and explore core cultural dynamics that shape identity, help-seeking behaviors, and therapeutic engagement. The course will also address how first responder culture may influence what unfolds in the therapy room and provide practical guidance for how clinicians can show up in ways that foster credibility, trust, and effective clinical support.

Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) refers to the profound psychological transformation that can emerge from the cognitive and emotional struggle with trauma—not simply a return to baseline functioning, but the development of a more complex, meaningful, and resilient life narrative. Grounded in the foundational and revised models of PTG (Tedeschi et al., 2018), this course introduces clinicians to the core theory and developmental process underlying growth after adversity. Participants will explore the five empirically supported domains of posttraumatic growth, review practical approaches to assessing PTG in clinical settings, and examine evidence-based strategies that can help cultivate deliberate meaning-making and narrative integration. Emphasis will be placed on ethically integrating growth-oriented work within trauma-informed treatment in a way that is paced, clinically sound, and responsive to client readiness.

Anger is a natural human emotion, but when it becomes frequent, intense, or poorly regulated, it can significantly impact personal relationships, occupational functioning, and overall mental health. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be an effective, evidence-based approach for helping individuals recognize, understand, and manage problematic anger (Deffenbacher & White, 2020; Öst et al., 2022). This training will introduce clinicians to key cognitive and behavioral tools for anger management, grounded in CBT principles. Participants will learn how to differentiate between adaptive and maladaptive expressions of anger, address common myths about anger, and identify the unique patterns and triggers that perpetuate a client’s anger response. The course will emphasize practical strategies clinicians can use to support clients in developing more constructive ways of expressing and regulating anger.

Depression is a highly prevalent and impairing condition often characterized by isolation, avoidance, and reduced engagement in meaningful activities. Behavioral Activation (BA) is a structured, evidence-based intervention grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that targets these patterns by helping clients reengage with value-driven behaviors. Research continues to support BA as an effective treatment for depression across diverse populations (Gawrysiak et al., 2020; Richards et al., 2023). This training will introduce clinicians to the key behavioral features of depression and the theoretical foundations of BA, including how avoidance reinforces the downward spiral of mood and behavior. Participants will learn how to apply core components of BA such as daily activity monitoring, identifying personal values, and planning goal-directed activities to help clients interrupt depressive cycles and build momentum toward recovery.
