This training is ideal for counsellors, psychotherapists, healthcare professionals, case managers, addictions workers, justice workers, as well as other front-line staff who have some clinical engagement with male clients. |
While a clinical/therapeutic background is necessary to benefit from all aspects of this training, peer counsellors who are currently working with male survivors are warmly welcomed.

Day 1 Schedule: 'TRUTH-TELLING: The Case Statement for Male-Centred Trauma Therapy'
For up to 300 participants:
Truth-Telling will explore both the conceptual and practice implications of a male-centred approach to trauma therapy. Examining many of the concepts imbedded in the new psychology of masculinity, this session will allow for a necessary conversation of what constitutes the critical intersection between male socialization and psychotherapy with men.
This is essential learning in taking on work with male survivors, whether their experiences involved childhood sexual abuse, adult sexual assault or other wounds. Come and be vitalized by what we know of the research, how men’s trauma presents itself, and how we can formulate plans of engagement and care that effectively speaks to the lives of men.

Day 2 Schedule: 'RE-VISIONING MEN'S VIOLENCE: Working with Men Experiencing Anger, Rage and Violence'
Full 5-day Symposium booking is essential for also attending Days: 2-5.
Sometimes, hurt people hurt people. Working with this premise, join us for a day of training that addresses men who experience anger, rage and violence. Using male-centred approaches and trauma-centred approaches to intervention, this training will examine both the cognitive and emotional strategies aimed at engaging men in a respectful process of change.
Most services around the Western world rely unduly on premises of men’s choice of controlling behaviours – often negating the wounds assaultive men often carry from their childhood. This approach is different - emphasis will be placed on ego state models of understanding, all the while seeing the critical role of shame in expressions of rage.
Participants will be able to leave Re-Visioning Men’s Violence with techniques that speak to both individual and group engagement – which may mean our interventions will be more effective to charting a violence-free future.

Day 3 Schedule: 'EMOTIONAL INTEGRITY: Frameworks of Healing for Male Survivors'
Full 5-day Symposium booking is essential for also attending Days: 2-5.
Clients of all walks of life want to “be heard.” This core need is expressed in its relationship with ourselves, our relationship with significant others, and our ability to be fully connected as humans. Due to the inherent nature of trauma, male survivors have additional challenges to achieve this in life. Awareness and cognition alone won’t achieve this outcome for them. They experience a variety of roadblocks: emotional dysregulation, affective numbing, tendencies of avoidance, habitual over-expression and compulsive behaviour can all play a part.
Using a variety of learning methods, participants in Emotional Integrity will be empowered to incorporate both this awareness and the subsequent skill set into their practice. Psycho-dynamic, experiential, and strengths-based approaches will all allow participants to engage more fully with their clients, allowing clients to live more fully in their emotional lives.

Day 4 Schedule: 'ONE FINGER CAN'T PICK UP A STONE: Group Therapy Process & Technique'
Full 5-day Symposium booking is essential for also attending Days: 2-5.
As healing cannot occur in isolation, group work is a preferred model of intervention with vulnerable populations of all genders: it lessens the inherent isolation of individual psychotherapy, reduces shame, allows for one’s testimony to be witnessed and creates a supportive learning atmosphere that can benefit all participants.
Group practice can also help facilitate re-connection – Judith Herman’s third stage of recovery for survivors of abuse and trauma. However, practitioners often do not have the skill set to carry out group practice.
One Finger teaches both the necessary group processes as well as group intervention skills to allow for dynamic yet safe engagement with clients. Group theory will be explored in terms
of conceptual approaches as well examining the relationship between psycho-education and process work.
Using experiential learning methods, participants will gain experience using techniques such as Opening Circle to Testimony to conflict resolution.
Ultimately, One Finger will create confidence for service providers to expand their services to groups – a necessary step to ensure community capacity for men’s healing to occur.

Day 5 Schedule: 'CORE CURRICULUM: First Stage Engagement with Male Survivors'
Full 5-day Symposium booking is essential for also attending Days: 2-5.
Core Curriculum delivers what many front-line workers request most: a step-by-step training focusing on the process of intake, assessment and the curriculum basics for first-stage engagement with male survivors. This training is applicable to both individual psychotherapy as well as dedicated group programming.
Following the precepts of a tri-phasic model of trauma recovery, participants will be guided through the process of providing dedicated services to men. Derived from the evidence-based Men & Healing program of working with male survivors, the foundational psycho-educational curriculum sets the stage for trauma relevant to individual or group practice, this day accomplishes it all.
Much of the learning will be participatory, lending itself to group engagement and skill practice. All participants will receive the “Men & Healing Participant" workbook.
