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.
