Part 1:

Modules 1-5 (recorded, on-demand classes) provide an initial theoretical introduction to trauma, teach stabilization exercises (Pillars of Life), and emphasize the importance of referrals.

These videos can be watched at your convenience. There is a quiz at the end of each module, which requires a 70% passing rate in order to proceed to the next module.

Participants must attend the live training to ensure a better understanding and to develop skills and confidence.

Part 3:

Two hours of live consultation must be completed with a certified PIPA Consultant or Trainer in order to receive the full Certificate of Completion for the PIPA Program.
