Please join us for our Peer Consultation Group: Trauma Clinical Topics on Wednesday June 4th from 5 to 6:30 pm
Peer consultation is a vital part of clinical practice. It provides opportunity for increased self reflection, validation and support through navigating complex clinical situations. Engaging in peer consultation groups has been shown to improve therapeutic effectiveness and greatly reduce the risk of isolation and burn out while increasing connections with a community of practitioners.
PPC Peer Consult Groups are offered to members only. Space is limited to ensure participants can benefit fully. Please see the attendance policy below.

Are you working with clients who have significant trauma histories, comorbidities, or trauma-related responses?
