About This Training
Compassion fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral distress are different terms, but they all describe the emotional impact of working in helping professions. CE-CERT (Components for Enhancing Career Experience and Reducing Trauma), developed by Dr. Brian Miller, is an evidence-informed model designed to support conscious regulation of stress responses. CE-CERT provides a structured set of emotion regulation practices that promote well-being and enhance effectiveness by supporting helping professionals in managing the demands of their work in real time.
Training Components:
1. CE-CERT Training: September 16 from 9 am-4 pm and September 17 from 9 am-12 pm (10 hours)
Ten hours of in-person experience providing information and skills in the five skill domains that comprise CE-CERT (Experiential Engagement, Reducing Rumination, Conscious Narrative, Emotional Labor, and Parasympathetic Recovery).
Attendees will:
- recognize the value of connecting emotionally with their work
- discover techniques to minimize rumination
- develop skills to shape their personal narrative to reduce stress
- explore strategies to reduce emotional labor to make their jobs easier
- learn methods to incorporate moments of calm and recovery in their daily routine
Lunch will be provided both days of CE-CERT Training.
2. Extended Learning Session - Supervising Intensive: September 17 from 1-4 pm (3 hours) (Optional but strongly recommended and included at no additional cost)
Following the CE-CERT Training, professionals with supervisory responsibilities may participate in an additional three-hour session designed to support the application of CE-CERT skills within supervision.
Attendees will:
- develop skills to translate core concepts into supervisory practice
- learn to integrate CE-CERT skills into your approach to supervisory responsibilities
Everyone is welcome to stay, but we highly encourage all professionals with supervisory responsibilities to participate to enhance their supervision skills.
3. Consultation Calls: 10 virtual group calls over a five-month period
Consultation and coaching supports participants in applying the CE-CERT skills to manage stress and strengthen emotional regulation. CE-CERT Trainers will facilitate ten virtual group consultation sessions over five months, offering space to reflect, share experiences, and build confidence using the five skill domains.
The registration deadline is September 1st, 2026.
Participants will have access to our online Learning Hub where training materials will be shared.
Once training begins payments are not refundable.
