CTHN’s Level 1 Training is a ten-hour training designed for Christian professionals and lay counselors who desire to learn the basics for counseling clients who have experienced past trauma. The instructor will teach the course content using biblical principles and a distinctly Christian worldview. This course is an overview of counseling practices for providing healing from a traumatic event or series of events. It does not cover advanced methods of counseling, nor does it offer specific practices for helping clients who are currently being traumatized.
