The trauma-informed care training was very beneficial for me as a social worker helping kids, teens and young adults with various mental health needs. Better understanding the way our bodies can react to trauma and stress helped me make better clinical decisions and provide better support to the youth I'm working with. Hopefully, more training will keep on making me a better social worker.

Training with Stephanie was great! She checked in beforehand on our needs and particular questions regarding the subject, and adapted the training, focusing on the know how and clinical application of the knowledge. Being well versed and well trained in the functioning of the Nervous System, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing and trauma; I still found useful knowledge and reminders. I thought that Stephanie did a great job in synthetizing and organizing the most recent research and knowledge in all of these fields. Thanks Stephanie!

This course was a great presentation on how trauma appears in the body, and how important self-regulation is in the work we do with mental health. It felt like a mirror being held up to me and inspired me to reflect on the ways that I hold feelings and trauma within my body, and called me in to befriend the parts of me that I often ignore. My only request is that it would be great to have had a longer training.

I really loved this training. It was packed with useful information. The best part was to practice what we were learning. How often do we get to take a few minutes break during any training to just breathe? I liked that all information was structured making it easy to follow. I highly recommend this training.
