HEAL NS offers free online training to frontline and community-based service providers or staff in Nova Scotia. This training is facilitated by Shannon Hardy (MSW, RSW), content specialist in Trauma-Informed practices.
We offer two different levels of this training, each twice a year. The first is the basics course. This training gives a foundational understanding of trauma-informed care and approaches, strengthening participants' capacity to provide culturally safe and stigma-free services to vulnerable populations. The second is trauma informed care at the organizational level. In these sessions we cover designing trauma-informed forms and procedures, implementing trauma-informed leadership practices and cultivating a trauma-informed organizational culture.
Keep an eye on our social media for when new offerings are launched or contact Program Coordinator Hanley Smith to be added to the waitlist.
