The events of the past two-plus years have had a significant impact on everyone. Such events may have been especially overwhelming for participants in our workforce development programs who had already felt vulnerable and insecure.
Through our next MAX Academy, we will explore the use of a trauma-informed perspective to support customers who have a history of, or are in the midst of, traumatic experiences. Attendees will learn how to adjust their practices and approaches to better meet the needs of their customers and leave the training with strategies that they can immediately put into practice.
This workshop is our second training on trauma-informed care held this year in partnership with the Professional Excellence Program in the School of Social Work at Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.
The MAX Academy will take place on Tuesday, June 28th, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, at the Georgia Piedmont Technical College DeKalb Conference Center in Clarkston. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

CREDENTIALED TRAINING
Both IAWP and NAWDP recognize training programs held through the MAX Academy as relevant training hours for their certification programs. Hours spent attending MAX Academy workshops can count as training hours for earning a Certified Workforce Professional (CWP) credential from IAWP and also as professional development (continuing education) hours for CWP recertification. For NAWDP’s Certified Workforce Development Professional (CWDP), NAWDP will accept MAX Academy training hours toward the professional development hours required for CWDP recertification.
This training with Georgia State University provides 3.0 clock hours of continuing education for the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). These CEUs can also be used to fulfill core hours or general continuing education requirements for license renewal for social workers and non-core related hours for marriage and family therapists and professional counselors.
