The LVC Trauma-Informed Counseling Certificate is available for counselors or anyone in a professional field who engages with people who have experienced trauma. Our program welcomes educators, healthcare workers, first responders, lawyers, social workers, and anyone in the human services field interested in providing trauma-informed care to their students, patients, or clients. The certificate is based on best practices and addresses chronic forms of trauma, such as poverty and abuse, and societal trends and events that cause trauma.
