Certified Trauma & Resilience Trainer (CTRT) Certification

Starr Certified Trauma & Resilience Trainers (CTRT) have a fundamental understanding of and belief in the impact of Starr’s programs, interventions, and resilience-focused approach to healing trauma in children, families, and communities. With this credential, trainers can train and certify professionals through Starr’s trauma-informed, resilience-focused specialist courses within or outside of their organization – sharing the same powerful tools and mindset they have mastered with new professionals and organizations, and, most importantly, the children each are driven to heal.

  • To have unlimited access to Starr’s core courses and select resources and materials, including CTRT Resource Pages (complete with enhanced tools and tutorials on how to implement the “Starr approach”)
