Pinetree Institute’s Trauma-Responsive Certificate Program

Our Courses

Our courses offer a comprehensive structure for understanding and addressing trauma, building resilience, and implementing trauma-responsive practices. The program progresses
from foundational concepts to personal application and broader organizational impact, culminating in certification.

Here’s what our participants have to say:

“My experience with the cohort was quite literally life changing. I have been learning more about ACES and Trauma that impact our children for many years. Participating in this program gave me the insight to take what I have learned and put it into practice! It has also given me so much more depth into the field of trauma-informed work and made me a lifelong champion for the children who need this work the most!”
