Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) Training Workshop

This intensive training covers the nature of trauma, the consequences of traumatic incidents, and the Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) technique. TIR has been determined to be an evidence-based technique by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The TIR workshop also teaches how past traumas are triggered and how unwanted feelings, emotions, sensations, attitudes, and pains resulting from past trauma can be traced back to their origins and eliminated. You will also learn a technique known as Unblocking which is highly useful in preparing a client for TIR and for handling issues that are not directly trauma-related. Unblocking can be applied to broad areas of life (e.g. your marriage, your job, etc.)

We will focus on the core, essential TIR training and implementation of techniques, including real hands-on practice (not roleplay) as well as hands-on practice and education on case planning.

This workshop is appropriate for anyone with a strong desire to assist others, as well as all levels of practicing social workers, psychologists, therapists, counsellors, clergy, critical incident stress debriefers, and anyone who wants to make the world a better place. No prerequisites are required.
