Trauma Conference

Welcome to the GMNTC Trauma Conference, an event dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of complex trauma. This conference is designed for mental health professionals, educators, healthcare providers, and community members who are committed to making a difference in the lives of those affected by trauma.

At GMNTC, we recognize that trauma is a pervasive issue that impacts individuals, families, and communities. Our conference aims to provide participants with the latest research, tools, and techniques in trauma-informed care. Through keynote presentations, workshops, and panel discussions, attendees will gain valuable insights into effective interventions and strategies for supporting clients of all ages and backgrounds.

The conference features a distinguished lineup of speakers, including our very own Justin Coates, MA, LPCC, Owner and Clinical Director of GMNTC. Justin will share his expertise on trauma and resilience, focusing on innovative approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn from other leading experts in the field, covering topics such as neurobiology of trauma, therapeutic modalities, and cultural considerations in trauma care.

In addition to educational sessions, the conference provides a platform for networking and collaboration. Attendees can connect with peers, exchange ideas, and explore potential partnerships that enhance trauma-informed practices within their organizations and communities.

Join us for a transformative experience at the GMNTC Trauma Conference, where we come together to empower, educate, and inspire. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
