Discover how NARM® can elevate your clinical work!

NARM® is at the forefront of the Trauma-Informed movement, offering a non-pathologizing, humanistic model for supporting clients in working through the lasting impacts of early relational and developmental trauma. This Intro Workshop is designed for licensed psychotherapists, counselors, social workers, and other mental health professionals.
