- [Trauma-Informed Care Mentorship](https://www.nourishedmindnutrition.com/c/products/trauma-informed-care-mentorship): In a world where more than 70% of individuals have been exposed to some form of trauma, providing trauma-informed healthcare is more essential than ever. But trauma-informed care involves a specific set of skills, knowing our own needs, triggers, and boundaries, having cultural competency and knowledge of identifying, understanding, and working with trauma. We need support, supervision, and mentoring to help us grow as trauma-informed clinicians. If you are ready to go deeper with learning about TIC, strategizing implementation within your practice, workgroup, or organization, or you are working with a complex trauma case and need some support, I'm here to help. I offer 1:1 virtual mentoring for $149/hr for health professionals. If you're an undergraduate or master's student, I provide the first mentorship session for free. Please reach out to me directly if you're a student. Note: I am not a therapist, psychologist, or licensed counselor. I primarily support non-behavioral health clinicians in implementing TIC in their practices. Please reach out to me with any questions at erica@nourishedmindnutrition.com.
