The absence of trauma-informed practice in mental health and wellness takes a profound toll on health and wellness providers as well as their clients. As a result of her experiences, Ernestina developed an online educational practice to assist educators, coaches, health, wellness and mental health professionals develop their own online programs, integrate trauma-informed practices into their own offerings and help them address emerging practice issues.
She has worked with a diverse variety of clients, developing and optimizing training for in-person, e-learning and blended delivery including complex topics such as trauma-informed practice, cultural competency, minimally invasive surgery, nursing, human rights and Indigenous culture.
