*formerly NARM Basics Training Consults
NARM-Informed Professional Consults are available to NARM training participants who are enrolled in or have completed the NARM-Informed Professional (formerly NARM Basics) Training. These online consults are a learning opportunity to help support the integration of NARM principles that participants learn in the NARM Training. This may include reviewing, reflecting on, and raising questions about the learning content or experiential exercises from training modules. Participants may also want to ask questions about a particular situation or case from their work, to reflect on how a NARM-informed approach can support and enhance their work with complex trauma. Participants are not required to share a question or case in order to attend a case consult. Observing and listening to other participants’ questions and experiences also greatly supports integration of NARM.
These groups are also a valuable way to stay connected to the NARM community!
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at: [email protected].
In order to receive a refund or to transfer to another upcoming consult, you must email [email protected] at least five days before the consult takes place. Refunds and date transfers will not be accommodated if the request is made less than five days prior to the consult.
Each participant will have approximately 15-30 minutes for presenting their case, for their questions, and then for the follow-up discussion with the consult provider and the group. Please note: some may go longer or shorter depending on the teaching needs.
The process of sharing a Client/Case will follow this flow:
1.Briefly share some background information on your client/case to give us context (please use only 1-2 minutes). Due to time constraints, we will stop you if you take much longer than 1-2 min. Once we begin discussing the client/case, there will be an opportunity to add more background information.
2. What is this client(s) wanting out of the work with you (“contract”)?
3. Briefly share with us what you’ve been doing thus far with this client: How this has worked, and also where you feel stuck.
4. We ask that you formulate what specific questions or support you’d like with this case – in other words, how can I help you with this client/case?
When you are not presenting, you are welcome to type in any questions or comments you may have into the chat. If you would like to speak directly to the provider and the presenting participant, you may type into the chat box “[Your name] would like to speak.” We can’t guarantee we will have time to get into discussion, but we will do our best to have you all interact as much as possible.
For the purposes of tracking NARM-Informed Professional Certificate requirements, you will be emailed a verification of your attendance within 3 days following a consult. Please retain a copy of this verification email to submit with your completed Consult Log.
