The NARM Training Institute Presents

We appreciate that so many mental health professionals work from a spirit of social justice and advocacy.  At the NARM Training Institute, we are also grounded in a strong commitment to addressing healing complex trauma as a vehicle for both personal and social transformation.  The vision and passion for our trauma-informed Institute is to introduce a more humane approach for working with complex trauma, which includes addressing attachment, developmental, relational, cultural and intergenerational trauma.  This also includes a strong commitment to promoting accessibility to the NARM model, creating a learning environment that supports diversity and fosters inclusion, and holding the intention to support connection and learning from each other.

We also want to be transparent with the intention for this Level 4 training so all prospective NARM training participants know what this training will provide and what it will not provide.  The Level 4 NARM Post Masters Immersion Training is an advanced psychotherapeutic training and will provide a comprehensive clinical training on the NeuroAffective Relational Model.  This Level 4 training is not focused on social or political activism and will not provide specific training in addressing the systemic failures that perpetuate complex trauma.  While we do acknowledge and discuss the origins of complex trauma emerging out of social systems and the legacy of unresolved cultural and intergenerational trauma, if your focus is in these areas, or you are wanting a trauma-informed training that will provide deeper training in these areas, we would encourage you to explore other trainings.

We recognize that every training participant has different needs around their learning process and goals.  We understand that if the NARM Post Masters Immersion Training does not deliver on what you are expecting that this could impact your learning process.  So we want you to have a clear understanding of the boundaries of this Level 4 NARM Post Masters Immersion Training.  This promotes clarity for us all.

While the Level 4 NARM Post Masters Immersion Training itself will not specifically focus on addressing these important areas of changing systems that maintain systemic oppression and inequalities, we do very much hope that our NARM Graduates will work in the many systems they are associated with and can use NARM to impact these systems for the better.  We support these efforts outside the Level 4 NARM Post Masters Immersion Training and are excited to be providing people with what we believe is a great psychoeducational model to promote real change.
