Trauma-Informed Assessment and Stabilization
Six hours for the clinician who is not a trauma specialist but sees trauma weekly: screening and differential assessment, phase-oriented care, teachable stabilization and grounding skills, and honest referral boundaries for specialist treatment. This course does not certify you in any trauma treatment technique, and says so.

How it works
This is a self-paced, asynchronous course (home study), not a live webinar or scheduled class. Reading with optional audio, case material worked in full, and short knowledge checks along the way. The course ends with a final exam (60 questions, retake allowed) and a course evaluation. On release, the certificate of completion issues immediately and stays downloadable from your private course link.
