Clinical Trauma Specialist - Family (CTS-F)
This updated version offers expanded curriculum, live clinical instruction, and new comprehensive learning materials designed to support real-world application and certification preparation.
Understanding family trauma requires moving beyond symptom management to address the nervous system, attachment, and the relational environments that shape healing. In this focused three-day training, you will explore how toxic stress, ACEs, and intergenerational trauma influence behavior and emotional regulation, and how to intervene at the level of family systems rather than isolated symptoms. Led by Dr. Robert Rhoton, PsyD, LPC, F.A.A.E.T.S., this course integrates trauma neuroscience with a NeuroAffective Coherence and salutogenic framework, equipping clinicians with practical, relationally grounded tools to build safety, foster co-regulation, strengthen family resilience, and promote sustainable change beyond pathology-focused care.

I am an experience trauma therapist yet I still find there's a lot to learn here because the trainer made it more understandable in a layman terms.
