Treaters without this education may become discouraged in their attempts to help this group of clients, and may suffer from burnout as a result. This leads to a vicious cycle of high staff turnover rates, increased costs, and more state clients in search of the help they need. This affordable curriculum is now available to all interested agencies and individuals. It was prepared with editorial and clinical input from helping professionals and trauma survivors with extensive experience in state mental health systems, clinical treatments of traumatic stress conditions, curriculum design, and the law. We invite you to explore the RiskingConnection site and to contact us with your questions or for more information.
Training is available.
If you are experienced in working in a trauma model, and would like to become certified to teach Risking Connection, please contact us . A program to certify trainers is being developed, and the Risking Connection Teaching Manual will be published in 2001.
