BICTD has its origins with Dr. Renée P Marks who has over the past two decades presented training on child assessment, attachment, child abuse, complex trauma and dissociation in children and adolescents. Over the past 5 years we have realised the need for a more effective way to deliver training and especially new research on the subjects of complex trauma and dissociation in children.
BICTD is the next step in this journey to get the latest and most up to date information out the people who need it most. More importantly, BICTD is not just one trainer or a single training. BICTD is a collaborative organisation with the following objectives:
With relationships across the world, we work and collaborate with the most notable researchers and practitioners in the field of child trauma and dissociation to bring that information to the “helpers” of the helpless.
We work to take all the latest information and research available and make it accessible in a format that is affordable and obtainable. This allows for professionals, practitioners, parents and carers form across the world to be resourced with the best and latest tools available. All with the purpose of helping restore the helpless lives that were horrendously abused, neglected and often misunderstood because of the behaviour that follows.
We are about children and the legacy that will follow.
