Free Webinar Jan 20: Roots of Resilience: The Healing Power of Nature for Trauma Survivors
Join Marie Burgess (Jan 20, 2026) for this free webinar about the healing powers of nature.
About the webinar
Trauma disconnects people from their sense of safety, belonging, and hope. Yet one of the most accessible tools for healing is right outside our doors: nature.
In this one-hour webinar, Marie Burgess, LCPC and Certified Nature Informed Therapist and Senior Faculty at the Center for Nature Informed Therapy, explores how connection with the natural world can help survivors of violence and trauma regulate their nervous systems, rebuild a sense of safety, and rediscover meaning.
Grounded in trauma-informed principles and emerging research, this session will highlight why nature is such a powerful ally in recovery—and how advocates can weave it into their work in simple, evidence-based ways that fit any setting.
We’ll also explore how reconnecting with nature can nurture advocates themselves—offering small, sustainable ways to reduce burnout and restore balance in the midst of emotionally demanding work.

Will I receive CEUs if I participate in a course?
If you are looking for CEUs for credentialed advocates, NACP or D-SAACP are the accrediting bodies for that certification. On their websites, they indicate that you do not need pre-approval for CEU courses that you may take. Anything related to victim advocacy should count. The staff at The Advocacy Academy can help with any documentation that you need. If you are looking for social work, nursing, or any other kind of CEUs, please contact your accrediting body to find out the requirements. Typically, we able to provide the proper documentation needed for professionals across many disciplines to receive CEUs. It might just require a little leg work!
-
Can I enroll my entire team?
Yes. If you have a large group of people to enroll, email [email protected] for assistance. You can just send a list with each person's name and email address. We can upload it to the system, rather than entering them one at a time.

How do I enroll in all of the courses at once?
