I recently completed Stanmore School of Business's Professional Certificate in Trauma Counseling, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The course content was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics related to trauma, its effects, and best practices for counseling. I particularly appreciated the focus on cultural competence and the importance of self-care for practitioners. I gained valuable practical knowledge, such as how to recognise different types of trauma reactions and develop appropriate treatment plans. The course materials were relevant and easy to follow, and the assessments were fair and challenging. I'm now more confident in my ability to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to clients who have experienced trauma. Thank you, Stanmore School of Business!
