Full-Spectrum Trauma Education for Agencies, Staff, Private Practioners and other Human Services Personnel
The Houston-Galveston Trauma Institute provides comprehensive, curriculum-based, psycho-educational and trauma courses for the community at all levels. Courses and consultation can be designed to meet the needs of a clinical staff and / or a paraprofessional staff.
People surviving traumatic experiences may have the following diagnoses: mood disorders including major depression and bipolar disorder, phobias, addictive/compulsive disorders including drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, obsession compulsive disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, somatization disorders, and personality disorders.
The effects of traumatic experiences may overwhelm mental health professionals who lack specific training in the treatment of trauma disorders and other helping professions who would like additional knowledge about psychological effects of trauma on human beings.
