Trauma Resiliency Program 2

TRP 2 – Structured, Focused, Trauma Treatment

Individuals who complete TRP 1, have the opportunity to participate in TRP 2: a 4-day, residential, group counselling intervention, designed to help individuals who are dealing with the negative effects of post trauma symptoms identify, specify, and engage in focused trauma treatment in a supportive group environment. 

Using the skills, information, and resourcing learned and practiced during and following TRP 1, participants in TRP 2 engage in a structured group-based narrative process, over four days, to decrease the impact and make sense of a specific traumatic event or cluster of related traumatic events that are causing distress. The goal is to not only do the work, but learn a method for continuing the work following the completion of the program. 

Individuals must complete TRP 1 to eligible for participation in TRP 2, but please note that completion of TRP 1 does not guarantee individuals will be considered suitable for TRP 2.
