- Leading mental health professional urges support for next-generation therapists and advocates for trauma-informed care in communities
Los Angeles, Californioa 5 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Tobinworld, a recognized leader in mental health training and clinical supervision, is raising awareness about the critical need for trauma-informed therapy and mentorship for emerging therapists. In a recent feature, Tobinworld shared insights from decades of experience working with complex client populations and training the next generation of mental health professionals.
“Children and adults who have experienced trauma need therapists who are trained not just in techniques, but in understanding, safety, and trust,” Tobinworld said. “It’s about building relationships first, so clients feel secure enough to process their experiences.”
Research shows that 1 in 4 children in the U.S. experience some form of abuse or neglect by the age of 18, yet many communities lack access to trained therapists equipped to handle these cases effectively. Tobinworld emphasizes that strong mentorship programs for graduate students and new therapists can help fill this gap.
“Our training program is designed to give therapists the skills and confidence to handle complex trauma cases,” Tobinworld explained. “It’s a challenging journey, but with proper supervision and support, new clinicians can make a real difference in people’s lives.”
Tobinworld’s program combines hands-on clinical experience with weekly training in areas such as trauma treatment, child abuse intervention, play therapy, and crisis response. Trainees are encouraged to immerse themselves fully, ask questions, and take on challenging cases. “Ask questions, take on challenging cases, and use every opportunity to grow. This is hard work, but it’s where real learning happens,” they said.
The feature also highlighted the importance of therapist wellness and self-awareness. “Therapists need to know when to take a break or ask for help,” Tobinworld said. “Working with trauma can be emotionally demanding, and taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your clients.”
Tobinworld encourages individuals and communities to take action by supporting trauma-informed care initiatives, mentoring aspiring therapists, or advocating for better mental health resources in their local schools, clinics, and community programs. Even small actions—like volunteering, donating to relevant nonprofits, or spreading awareness—can help ensure that more children and families have access to qualified, compassionate therapists.
“Everyone can play a role,” Tobinworld said. “Whether it’s mentoring a student, supporting a local clinic, or just learning more about trauma-informed care, every effort counts toward building a healthier, more resilient community.”
