Training & Development for Professionals
Dunamis Academy
...serves as a platform for professional growth. We collaborate with and train those who work in mental health, education, and caregiving professions. If you’re a teacher, social worker, counselor, healthcare provider, or anyone invested in mental well-being, our Academy offerings can enhance your skills and toolkit. Participants in Dunamis Academy programs can expect a welcoming atmosphere where interaction is encouraged, and content is geared toward practical application. We provide:
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Courses
Stay up-to-date with the latest in mental health research and best practices. We offer CPD-accredited workshops on subjects like “Trauma-Informed Practice in Schools,” “Supporting Neurodiversity in the Classroom,” and “Effective Techniques for Anxiety Management.” Led by experienced clinicians, these sessions blend theory with real-world case examples.
Professional Certification Programs
In the future, we plan to introduce in-depth training programs (multi-day or multi-week) for certification in specialized approaches or interventions. For example, practitioners might train with us to become certified in a particular parenting program or therapeutic technique.
Peer Consultation & Networking
We periodically host networking meetings and moderated peer consultation groups for local professionals. This provides a space to discuss challenging cases (respecting confidentiality), share resources, and support one another. Our belief is that building a community of practice benefits everyone – professionals grow, and clients receive better care.
Guest Lectures and Webinars
Through the Academy, we invite experts in various niches of mental health to give talks or webinars. Whether it’s a renowned child psychiatrist sharing insights on medication management or an advocate discussing mental health in minority communities, these events broaden horizons and spark new ideas for professionals and interested clients alike.
