Capstone Project and Supervision

In my experience working with individuals battling substance use disorders, I have witnessed firsthand how deeply trauma is intertwined with addiction. Many people turn to substances as a way to cope with past wounds, unresolved grief, or adverse childhood experiences. Yet, without addressing the underlying trauma, any effort at recovery remains incomplete and fragile. This is why I strongly believe that training professionals in Trauma-Informed Care is essential to providing holistic, compassionate, and effective support for those on their journey to recovery. A Professional Diploma in Trauma-Informed Care for Substance Use Disorders empowers practitioners with the knowledge and skills to recognize, understand, and respond to the complex interplay between trauma and substance use. This training is not just an academic exercise—it is a transformative tool that can help break the cycle of addiction and restore hope and dignity to those who have suffered too long.
