Attachment and Trauma Workshop in Practice – Level 3
When: January 25; February 1, 8, 15, 22, March 8, 22, April 4, 11, 18, 2023
Description
The level 1 training supported our understanding of attachment and trauma. Level 2 provided a formidable compendium of international OT’s supporting us in the assessment of attachment and trauma. Level 3 focuses on small group participation discussing case studies on a deeper level. Additional theory and discussion on the deeper impact of trauma and attachment will be provided. The bulk of the times together would be discussing the participant’s own case studies. A ppt template will be provided to support the participants sharing of information. The participant would be scored according to a rubric at the end of our time together. The emphasis would be on growing edges, not on pass / fail. Once Level 3 is completed ATTACh will acknowledge full completion of the certificate training. Registration will only allow 12 persons per group and will proceed on a first come, first serve basis.

Reviews:
Maude’s webinars are of the highest quality. She is able to share her vast knowledge in an easy, understandable and very humble way, always with a big smile. Maude has the amazing skill to pull all the things that I’ve learned of before over the many years, as well as new information, together. I am proud and excited to be an OT again as Maude has shown me what a big role I can and should play. And loads of practical information to start using immediately. Thank you, Maude, I can’t wait to attend your next workshop!!
