The Mental and Emotional Health Series for Clients with Clinical Diagnoses is a flexible curriculum that allows you to customize and optimize the care you provide your clients who are diagnosed with a mental health disorder. Drawing on evidence-based approaches including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the complete series includes a facilitator guide, Trauma & PTSD video and workbook, and five other topic-specific workbooks and videos.

Trauma & PTSD explores the impact of trauma on the brain and nervous system, including adverse childhood experiences and generational trauma. Paired with exercises in the workbook, the video encourages clients to develop skills to cope with triggers, stigma and unhelpful thought patterns.
