Last week, Amanda led Part 2 of the ITATM® Train the Trainer program at ATTCH Niagara, advancing the skills of trauma therapists in creating safety and nervous system regulation, critical components for effective trauma-informed care across Ontario.

This specialized training, supported provincially to build emergency readiness and capacity, equips therapists with the hands-on experience and confidence needed to support clients dealing with attachment wounds, addiction, and crisis situations through a structured, compassionate approach.

Participants described the program as “extremely beneficial,” praising the engaging presentation style and practical sessions that deepen understanding of trauma intervention models.

This initiative complements ATTCH Niagara’s core mission of increasing access to trauma therapy by strengthening the broader network of trauma-informed providers throughout the province, fostering resiliency and healing within our communities.

We’re excited to share a moment from a recent training session (Trauma Intervention Using ITATM in Emergencies) where professionals from the Bruce Sector are building their skills in trauma-specialized processing.

This training, moderated by facilitators Leigh, Naomi, and Brooke as part of the Train the Trainer program, aims to increase local capacity for trauma therapy using the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)®.

At ATTCH Niagara, we are committed to supporting therapists with evidence-based trauma treatment approaches that foster safety and nervous system regulation for those coping with complex trauma.

Thank you to everyone involved in this important work to grow trauma-informed care in our communities.

We’re deeply moved by this participant’s reflection. This highlights the transformative impact of the trauma-specialized work we do at ATTCH Inc. Healing through connection, insight, and compassionate care can open the door to true rest and renewal.

As therapists, our work requires deep presence, compassion, and continual learning.

Remember that healing trauma is a process of guiding clients safely through their nervous system’s signals—helping them stay within their window of tolerance while gently expanding resilience.

Taking care of your own nervous system through mindful breath and self-compassion enhances your ability to hold space for others. You are making a profound difference every day.

…Or perhaps due to hypoarousal due to the trauma, exploitation and lack of human connection that is occurring at an alarming rate? Curious of your thoughts 💭

Self-protection, a rejection of positivity, or a cultural message?
