An Invitation to Professionals

Professional training opportunities are available. Kathryn McCormack-Chen, LCSW, RN is a facilitator and trainer for the Traumatic Incident Resolution Association. The Traumatic Incident Resolution (TIR) approach is a brief, non-hypnotic, client centered model. The model is used with individuals who would like to address the negative impact of past traumatic experiences. TIR can result in restoration of a sense of well being. Kathryn has extensive experience using the TIR model to address unresolved trauma and PTSD. Her experience using this technique with 9/11 survivors has been published in Beyond Trauma: Conversations on Traumatic Incident Reduction by Victor R. Volkman, Loving Healing Press, Ann Arbor, MI, 2004.

Kathryn will be providing training in use of the TIR model to professionals. A training schedule will be posted soon. Check back often for updates. If you would like us to contact you when the schedule is available, please email us.

We are available to speak to professional, community and workplace groups on a variety of topics including: care management for the senior population, chemical dependency, medical advocacy and use of Intervention for substance abuse.
