Programs are based on an ever-evolving curriculum integrating social science research, crisis intervention services, and applied community psychology. 

More than eight thousand mental health professionals (social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, nurses, counselors, chaplains, psychiatrists, and marriage and family therapists) who work for hospitals, county disaster mental health teams, non-profits, counseling agencies, and the Department of Defense have attended our trainings.

To meet your organization's specific training needs, one or two-day programs are developed collaboratively.

Programs utilize:

          -  Educational presentations; 
          -  Group discussions; 
          -  Role play; 
          -  Skill building exercises; 
          -  Viewing educational videotapes.


Evidence-based and empirically-defensible practice guidelines are taught in an atmosphere designed to build clinical skills and community networking. Participants regularly evaluate the training as among the best they have attended.
