News You Can Use – July 2026

Join the ISSTD Professional Training Program Faculty

ISSTD Professional Training Program (PTP) is inviting applications for the roles of Faculty and Teaching Assistants for its Level I course. 

Faculty members serve as small group facilitators, guiding a cohort of participants through the months alongside the didactic curriculum. The role involves participating in regular faculty meetings (4 per year) and ongoing engagement with your group’s learning. Faculty receive mentorship and support from the broader PTP faculty community, and many describe the experience as some of the most meaningful teaching they do.

Candidates who bring clinical depth, a willingness to sit with complexity, and the kind of presence that participants learn from are requested to apply, as those qualities are exactly what we hope to cultivate in the next generation of clinicians working with complex trauma and dissociation. 

Here are a few useful links:
