In-service workshops - By far the most effective way to deliver training and support
We Like to Travel: At CAST Canada it is part of our mandate to travel to hard to reach, hard to serve areas. We have developed some unique, powerful material around delivering support in very small communities. Lately we have been to Geraldton ON, Yellowknife NWT, Shawanaga ON, Eskasoni NS, Carleton Place ON, Maniwaki QC and Little Current on Manitoulin Island.
When you hire CAST Canada
Trauma Essentials
A blend of the most important and popular CAST Canada workshops. The ideas of working with someone with no hope and no tomorrow works well with trauma informed addiction and harm reduction strategies. Full day to 3 days.
'Tomorrow Does Not Exist'
Working with people who have lost so much they feel they cannot have a positive future. Do you see people that are inexplicably stuck with addiction, housing, employment or other issues? Or people that are unaccountably and perpetually angry? Do you feel frustrated? Wish you had ways to help them get unstuck? Our most often requested workshop.
Trauma Informed Addiction Tools
A unique and real understanding of addiction through a trauma lens.
A Practical Approach for the General Helping Professional - receive a set of practical, usable tools that will help you be more comfortable and effective in your work. Learn about the nature of cravings and withdrawals as well as the role of relapse and supportive harm reduction strategies.
Complex Emotional Burdens /The Cost of Caring
A unique combination of story, education, experiential exercise, room discussion, reflection and validation that is popular for in-services in small groups (up to 25). Creates resilience around trauma, ‘vicarious trauma’, compassion fatigue and burn out etc.
About the Workshops:
“Real, Raw and Relevant”
Sessions are based in the reality of the experience. The ideas evolved in over 85 discussions with people presently struggling with trauma and addiction or at a point of change, as well as Founder Tom Regehr’s personal experience.
Practical and immediately applicable
Ideas, language, tools and practical examples come from ongoing discussions with professionals. Material was proofed in over 100 workshops and panel discussions with direct service providers!
