While violence can cause profound trauma, we understand that profound trauma can also contribute to serious violence. At the core of many acts of serious violence, or threats of violence, is the undiagnosed or untreated trauma of the “individual of concern.” Therefore, the fields of threat assessment and trauma response are inseparably connected. In many cases, the trauma-generated
behavior has its origin in the Individual of Concern's (IOC) family experience. Understanding the interconnection between the dynamics of violence, the dynamics of trauma, and the dynamics of
families is key to disrupting the “Trauma-Violence Continuum.” Through the CTIP Learning Platform (NLP), we can reach a broader audience with our easy-to-use system and dynamic learning approach. The “Certificate in CTIP Foundations” is a series of three online trainings that when completed will be the equivalent of 9 credit hours of foundational learning.

Who should take the courses?
The Foundation Courses are customized for the person who has an interest in the fields of threat
assessment, trauma response, and family dynamics, including para-professionals, professionals, and
those with a general interest in advancing their learning. It is designed to provide learning for those
who want general exposure to the CTIP models as well as those who are planning—as part of
their professional development—to complete any of the two-day, in-person training courses. It is also
meant to provide those who have already completed two-day trainings an opportunity to refresh
their learning and dive more deeply into areas that informed our current training program.
