Internship Training Program

Over 2009 and 2010 the Council piloted an Internship Training Program with funding support from Ontario Trillium Foundation.  This advanced training institute combined theory and professionally supervised direct practice in the area of child sexual victimization.  The training’s focus was on comprehensive trauma and abuse assessments and related intervention and treatment in this highly specialized area of practice.

The year long innovative, intensive curriculum was developed by the Council’s Clinical Director, Nancy Falls with the help of several of our Clinical Members and other experts in the field, and delivered by this group.

This September will see the first six graduates of the Internship Program.  Congratulations!  We sincerely thank the Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton, the Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton, and the Regional Indian Centre for their support.

Educational Forums

The Council offers exciting learning opportunities, once or twice a year, to the professional community in the form of training and educational symposiums which feature leaders in the field and focus on evolving trends, emergent research, and best practice in prevention, treatment and education.
