Specific NET Modules 

Over the years, the classic NET treatment method was further adapted in order to meet the specific treatment needs of clients.

Please refer to our Home Page for information on training duration and pricing of these additional modules. 

KIDNET: Narrative Exposure Therapy for Children Aged 6-12 Years

Building on the principles of classic NET, this training introduces the specifics of working with Children in Trauma Therapy. Topics include the involvement of parents / care takers and support networks, the use of checklists designed for younger children, and the application of creative media to facilitate engagement in Narrative Exposure, among other child-focused methods.

FORNET: Narrative Exposure Therapy for Forensic Offender Rehabilitation

Building on the principles of classic NET, the treatment of offenders and perpetrators requires a specific focus on Appetitive Aggression alongside the processing of trauma memories. The group component of FORNET incorporates skill development and peer support to help individuals with past violent behavior develop skills to foster peaceful interactions and personal growth. This training day focuses on identifying and processing key life events that contributed to the development of Appetitive Aggression, as well as the use of group therapeutic techniques. 

NETfacts: A community mental health intervention for trauma-focused truth and reconciliation at the population level.

NETfacts originated from our NET projects in crisis and war-torn regions, where we learnt that, beyond individual trauma therapy, community-wide interventions are often needed to re-establish peace and safety. Building on the principles of classic NET, this training introduces the key elements of NETfacts, demonstrates how they are applied, and presents research from highly challenging settings, urban areas affected by gang violence and post-conflict regions impacted by war, crimes against humanity, massacres, and large-scale atrocities, where large numbers of people were affected. 

MedNET

MedNET is a form of brief Narrative Exposure Therapy delivered by primary care physicians and their teams. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common sequela of critical illness, particularly following ICU stay, affecting a quarter up to half of the patients and significantly impacting health-related quality of life and healthcare costs. MedNET can relief trauma reactions in these individuals significantly. 

ElderNET 

When people approach the end of life, they often feel a deep desire for life review, closure, and letting go. NET can effectively support this process, though some adaptations are needed. In this special NET training, we will explore how to manage an extended lifeline, slow down the Narrative Exposure process, accomodate limited physical abilities, and shift the usual future-oriented focus towards achieving inner peace and closure. These topics, along with other considerations, form the focus of this training. 

Resolving Guilt and Shame with NET

In patients with moderate to severe PTSD, and depending on the nature of the traumatic experience, high levels of trauma-related guilt and shame are frequently observed. This training introduces our approach to addressing these painful symptoms, with the goal of supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth. Additional tools to work with Guilt and Shame in NET are introduced and demonstrated. 

NET and Grief

Survivors of stress, trauma, and maltreatment (specifically from childhood) often experience profound grief, whether related to the violation of their bodily integrity and / or the loss of a loved one. This training introduces the concept of Traumatic Grief and its treatment within NET therapy. We will also discuss supportive interventions surrounding dying, funeral rituals, letting go, and moving forward by helping clients anchor the deeply touching, positive experience of having loved as an inner resource.
