“Through the REAL program I was able to take the ART-Accelerated Resolution Therapy course offered in Edmonton. ART is a new type of brief trauma therapy that has rapid recovery outcomes. I’m a Mental Health Therapist in private practice in Peace River. I can not always afford costly professional courses but REAL helped me financially to attend. This has helped my northern trauma cliental. Thank you so much for your support!” - Alix, Peace River, Social Worker
