Components for Enhancing Career Experience and Reducing Trauma, or CE-CERT, is a model developed by Dr. Miller that is designed to support well-being in professionals who are exposed to secondary trauma. CE-CERT provides professionals and supervisors with practical skills to address the impact of secondary traumatic stress in themselves and their organization. The goal of CE-CERT is not merely to help professionals survive this work. Rather, the goal is to support professionals to have a vocation that is uniquely and deeply satisfying.

Part 2 – CE-CERT for Supervisors
A one-day training specific for supervisors of child maltreatment professionals. Supervisors will learn how to incorporate CE-CERT into their supervision model with staff. In addition to the one-day training, supervisors are invited and strongly encouraged to participate in 10 one-hour consultation calls scheduled once or twice a month with the CE-CERT trainer to further learn and get support with implementing CE-CERT into their supervisory practice. Supervisors who want to participate in Part 2 must have attended the Part 1 training.
 
This in-person training is open to professionals working in child abuse and neglect, such as but not limited to those at Children’s Advocacy Centers and members of multidisciplinary teams, in the United States, US Territories, and local Tribal Nations.   
 
There is no registration fee to attend this training. Participants are responsible for their own travel costs, if any.
