A Vision to Bring Trauma-informed Training to Nampa, Idaho.
The conference is provided by the Therapy Practice of Janelle Stauffer, LCSW. as part of Janelle'sdedication to bringing QUALITY trauma-informed education to the community of Nampa, Idaho.
In 2019 we hosted the first Trauma Skilled Conference in Canyon County and we're excited to offer an expanded version of this resource again this year. Due to COVID-19, we've moved the conference ONLINE and we welcome therapists from across the country to join us.
Our goal is to promote effective and safe trauma treatment for people who need it the most.
Trauma-Informed Care is the new buzz word for behavioral health. But what does it mean? The Trauma Skilled Conference seeks to answer this question and to create a place for trauma-informed practitioners to gather, network, and learn together.
Wherever you live, we invite you to join our community of therapists as we build on the idea of trauma-informed and strive to become trauma-skilled in our practices and communities.
