EXCITING TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
TRAUMA PRACTITIONERS
and
SERVICE PROVIDERS IN 2006
Welcome to 2006 with the South African Institute for Traumatic Stress!
2005 was a rewarding
year for SAITS, with more
than 240 students having been trained in trauma treatment at various levels,
ranging from trauma support and early intervention, to advanced trauma
treatment. As always, the courses offered an opportunity for practitioners
from over 25 organizations to network and offer each other support.

enriching, as we once again invite you to join us and hone your trauma
treatment skills on our introductory and advanced traumatic stress courses.
