I am trying to find out about any recognized certification for trauma "specialist". I have been asked repeatedly if I am "certified" but I don't know what that means in this field right now. I find certificates for professional areas (therapists, doctors) but only one for those of us who work with traumatized people (Association of Traumatic Stress Specialists). Any one can claim they have a certificate, or grant a certificate, but there is no oversight that I can see. New field! Old issues? What is ACESConnection doing? Who is attending to this?
