The week

Forty hours across five days. Worked, not presented.

  • 01Where your program actually standsAn honest audit of the file you brought, against the standard a reviewer would apply. Most people arrive certain about one thing and leave less certain about it.
  • 02Intake and supportive measuresThe first twenty-four hours, worked through on real material. Notice, options, documentation, and the decisions that quietly set the ceiling on everything after.
  • 03Evidence and interviewingTrauma-informed technique under pressure, with your own drafts marked up by a practitioner who will tell you what is wrong with them.
  • 04Findings and the recordWriting a determination someone else can follow. Standard of proof, reasoning made visible, and the parts of a report that fail on appeal.
  • 05What you take backYour program, rebuilt on paper, with the sequence and the instruments to put it in place. You leave with a plan, not a folder.
