In addition to training with CTRI, she is a compassionate therapist who specializes in suicide intervention, self-injury, anxiety and depression and neurodevelopmental issues. Highlights of Tricia’s career include her role in family-centred research and training with Manitoba Family Services, several years as a social worker and therapist for St. Amant Centre, and supporting youth and families in crisis as both therapist and clinical supervisor of the Youth Crisis Stabilization System through MYS. Her therapeutic approach is client-centred and trauma informed, drawing upon individual strength and resiliency. She has a profound belief in the resiliency of the human spirit, particularly in conditions of relational attunement, connection and support. Tricia is skilled in finding a balance between being informative and building connections with her participants while delivering workshops.
Children sometimes struggle with issues of loss, unpredictability, crises, or transitions. As helpers, we need to find ways to engage and support them and their natural support systems beyond simply talking. In this webinar, we explore the importance of promoting secure attachment relationships, understanding emotional and cognitive development, and helping grow healthy brains for children. This knowledge helps form the foundation for working with strategies that emphasize using the senses, rhythm, imagination and play. Interested in watching the companion webinar?
