BCACC'S Regional Workshops are back in 2026! Join us for 2 days of evidence-based trauma training, stakeholder dialogue, and opportunities to connect with fellow practitioners.
This year, we're turning the spotlight on complex trauma so practitioners can understand it better and improve their transferable skills, but that's not all! Here's what we have in store for you.

Lend your voice to mental health policy. Join this dialogue with government officials, service partners, health authority representatives, and fellow practitioners to surface barriers, discuss emerging client needs, and co-create solutions that reflect front-line realities in your region.
HALF-Day WORKSHOP: Uprooted but Unbroken: Deepening our Clinical Connection with Displaced Families'
This interactive presentation weaves together clinical research with the lived experiences of displacement—from war and persecution to resettlement. Through a trauma-informed, rights-based, and culturally responsive lens, participants will deepen their clinical practice by examining assumptions, strengthening work with interpreters, and deepening clinical connections that foster emotional safety, dignity, resilience, and hope.
Presenter: Dr. Zuhra Teja, RPsych
