PC Training

PC training can be obtained in any of the following programs:

  • Child & Adolescent Trauma Treatment Intensive

PC Group Consultation

The required 15 hours of post-training PC group consultation can be completed with any TI/CTI-approved PC Consultant. The consultation must be done in a group format (minimum 4 participants), either in person (face to face) or by video-conference; and it must include review of participants’ actual work, e.g., session videos. The consultation will focus on the trauma-informed treatment approach, including PC.

Endorsement by a PC Consultant

The endorsement for PC Certification by a TI/CTI-approved PC Consultant will be based on case discussion as well as review of your actual work (live or video) in the trauma-informed treatment approach, including PC. Consultants will provide detailed feedback to help you improve as needed. Consultants charge for their time, so get as far as you can in improving your skills via Group Consultation before trying for the Endorsement.

Disclaimer: TI/CTI makes no express or implied warranty as to the fitness or competence of any PC Certification holder. The credential is intended to represent completion of the activities likely to lead to mastery of PC and trauma-informed treatment.
