The Northwest MHTTC is excited to collaborate with Rebekah Demirel to offer a live learning community in summer 2023 focusing on trauma-informed decision-making for supervisors. Each session includes expert-led instruction and experiential learning.
Up to 6 hours of Continuing Education (CE) credits* (see bottom of page) are available.
In this inspiring, interactive learning community, especially for those in supervisory roles, a trauma-informed approach surveys intellect, emotions, and gut instincts. Exploration and inquiry of thoughts, emotions and life experiences informs how we supervise and lead others, leading us to greater mental health resilience.
