THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM:

We are excited to announce our MOVEMENT TRAUMA HEALER TRAINING PROGRAM, LEVEL 1 coming this FALL 2020. 

This will be a 3-month (12-week) program of study, expanding on the brief introduction to movement trauma from the webinar series. This will be primarily for practitioners but is also open to community members working in organizing and social movements who might benefit from this content. 

It will include 40-hours of learning activities (including 12 1.5 hours modules of learning with movement trauma healers, experiential and interactive learning activities, community conversations and assignments, and Zoom gatherings with fellow co-learners and teachers). It will offer 4 International CEUS at the conclusion of the program to anyone who completes all the program content.

This will be an opportunity to grow in community with other healers - whether you have beeing doing social movement healing work for years or if you are just considering being able to support in this moment. This work of movement healing is long term and year round work - and there is a place and role for all of us. This learning continuum will be an opportunity to expand your knowledge and grow with a community of other practitioners which you can be in conversation and collaboration with through this course and beyond!

The program cost will be $250.00 with an opportunity for a $50, $75, and $100 scholarship for anyone who might need it.

There will also be an opportunity to donate towards the scholarship of partial to full tuition for someone else if you have the means and wish to support someone else's learning experience.

TRACC4Movements DETAILS:

TRACC (trauma response and crisis care) for Movements was a project grown out of the stress and unrest felt within communities of community organizing, activism, and social change - which is also multiplied in marginalized communities. The original intent of this project was to mobilize to support community crisis and stress within and beyond social change. We believe in many ways this is a time of radical social change and deep community crisis.

We hope that the vision for which this project was born can be leveraged to support this kind of care for each other in this moment. We know that organizers, activists, marginalized community members and first responders (among others) are faced with a number of intersecting and growing stressors--from the personal, to the systemic, to the global. We hope to offer support quickly, not instead of other ongoing mental health, spiritual wellness, somatic healing work, etc, but as increased support in this moment where it is needed.

We are mobilizing community care and support across three dimensions for this COVID-19 moment: 1-1 virtual care, interactive webinars (for the general community & healing provider specific content), and practice groups offering community gathering space focused around meditation, stress-reduction practices, and rituals as well as specific healing practices such as EMDR.

We have also created a constantly growing #destressinplace RESOURCE MANUAL with various ways to gain support and information around healing and care services in this moment. For further details on TRACC and our support care in this moment please click HERE.
