Components for Enhancing Career Experience and Reducing Trauma (CE-CERT) Training

Staff retention, burnout and secondary trauma are epidemic for organizations and staff working with exploited and trauma exposed populations. Regrettably the best advice usually offered is: “Do more self-care!” Keeping good staff means more than just ‘surviving’ and ‘not burning out’. A new evidence-informed model, CE-CERT is a skills-based approach identifying five key clinical practice and supervision skills. 

The training will also reference the foundational sources of the relevant neuropsychological, social cognitive, anxiety and trauma treatment literature from which they are drawn and explore and apply each skill component. These are the skills we need to make ourselves more resilient to the secondary effects of intense therapy or helping experiences and includes skills for: 

  1. Engaging and “metabolizing” intense affect
  2. Decreasing rumination
  3. Having conscious oversight of our narrative
  4. Reducing emotional labor
  5. Parasympathetic recovery skills to re-balance in the moment


The training is for clinical and direct service level staff and supervisors. Participants will be invited and have opportunity to develop their own personal action plan to help emotionally connect, thrive, and stay in the field.
