Earn Your Trauma-Informed Care Practitioner's Certificate Online

You care. You wouldn't be here if you didn't.

Consider these facts: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and Developmental Trauma (DT) are highly correlated with serious emotional problems, health risk behaviors, social problems, adult disease and disability, mortality, high health care and other costs, and worker performance problems.

They're also significantly correlated with liver disease, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, heart disease, autoimmune disease, lung cancer, depression, attempted suicide, hallucinations, the use of antipsychotic medications, the abuse of substances, multiple sex partners and an increased likelihood of becoming a victim of sexual assault or domestic violence.

There's simply no getting around it, if you interface with the public, as a teacher, therapist, police officer, pastor, probation officer, whatever, it's time to change the dialogue.

Enter Trauma-Informed Care (TIC).

TIC, in a nutshell, means replacing the question "What's wrong with you?" with "What has happened to you?" - and understanding the difference.

About this Training:

This course was created from a live, three-day conference in Colorado Springs, conducted by the Colorado Professional Development Center. CPDC has certified over two hundred people as Trauma-Informed Practitioners, from therapists to soldiers, and everything in between.

For this event, fifty three people took time away from work and traveled to Colorado in planes, trains and automobiles, stayed at a conference center, and experienced three very intense days of training.

CPDC’s reputation as TIC trainers is impeccable. Due to their thoughtful and experienced teaching, many students have altered the course of their lives, careers and/or personal relationships, as many describe in the testimonials below.

What sets CPDC’s training apart is their focus on more than merely identifying trauma and treating symptoms. You’ll learn that it’s possible to actually HEAL trauma through engagement, empathy and compassion. While your certificate will read “trauma-informed”, you’ll know you’re more than that. You are, in fact, trauma-responsive.

We at The TIC Training Center saw the need to make this exceptional training more accessible, less disruptive and more affordable for the good people of the world. In collaboration with CPDC, we transformed those three days into a rich and engaging online course that you can take at your own pace, in the comfort of your own home – or anywhere else you might have an internet connection.

Once certified through the TIC Training Center and CPDC, you’ll have the opportunity to take deeper courses, specific to your field (currently in development) and possibly even become a TIC trainer in your own right.
