The Institute for Trauma Treatment in Schools (ITTS) offers online evidence-informed trauma training to MSW students (pre-service) through Simmons University, and to current practitioners (in-service) through Alliance for Inclusion and Prevention (AIP) staff and consultants.
The course is presented asynchronously in two parts; Course 1: Foundations “Understanding Trauma and its Impact on Teaching & Learning” and Course 2: Practical Applications “Providing Evidence-Based Treatments in Schools and Trauma-Informed Care for Special Populations”. A training certificate is awarded to those who complete each part of the course. Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) are available for social workers and mental health counselors who complete the requirements.
ITTS is funded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in collaboration with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN).
AIP is a National Center for Trauma Care in Schools, as designated by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Our partnership with the National Childhood Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) provides us with resources such as the NCTSN) Framework for a Trauma-Informed School.
