Professional Education

Two main categories of trainings currently offered:

  1. Trauma-informed treatment strategies for SLPs and related colleagues (e.g., teachers, paraeducators, rehabilitation staff).

  2. Professional burnout, traumatic stress response, and trauma-informed strategies to build staff resiliency.


Each training includes:

  • Necessary background information to become trauma-sensitive (per the Missouri Model of Trauma-Informed Care).

  • Review of common, current strategies/treatment techniques that are trauma-informed.

  • Strategies to expand the individual and organizational trauma-informed toolbox.

  • Exercises and case studies to bridge new information to immediate implementation.
     

Trainings are currently being offered either in-person or virtually per timed packages (e.g., 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes). Pricing is based on timed package as well as travel considerations for in-person. Packages can also be customized via consultation to fit any budget and/or time constraints.

Good stuff people say about Kim’s talks

  • “[Kim was] delightful. Clear and funny! It gave me so much more insight into supporting our neurodivergent clients and seeing them as the beautiful complex humans they are. As a neurodivergent person I am so glad that [she is] doing so much to teach these concepts.”

  • "I am a mental health professional (LCSW), and felt it extremely validating and relieving to consider my work situation as experiencing trauma rather than that I’m just burned out and cannot cope. "

    (talk topic: Burnout)

  • "It was so beautiful to share a safe space at a time where 'trauma informed' can feel so isolating and activating for ND people with CPTSD. Thank you. I needed this. "
