Working with Wildfire Trauma Lecture & BC SPCA Fundraiser 

JOIN US for our third working with wildfire trauma lecture & fundraiser for the BC SPCA

Monday May 12, 2025 6:00 to 9:00 pm PT

For Canadian Psychotherapists 

As therapists, we know first hand the devastating and debilitating impact of trauma of all sorts. The last several years we have seen devastating fire seasons, both here in Canada, and around the world, with many folks impacted by wildfires. There has been a loss of homes, communities have been devastated- an immensity of destruction for both humans, domestic animals and wildlife. We have witnessed loss of life, and for countless people, they have lost their stability and their ground.

We imagine that many people who have been impacted by the wildfires, or are feeling anxious about the looming season, will find their way to your clinical practice in the coming days and months. In searching for our best way to respond, we have decided to once again offer an online evening lecture dedicated to working with incident trauma, specifically wildfires, for the BBP community as well as Canadian Psychotherapists (with a clinical graduate degree). You will need a working knowledge of the window of tolerance and the polyvagal.

Sitting with the immense loss, terror, and disruption embedded in natural disasters such as this, calls for therapists to inhabit their most stable and expanded selves to bear witness to the enormity of what is being faced, both individually and in the collective.

BBP is dedicated not only to the education and evolution of therapists, but we also offer our continued support to animal charity organizations by raising funds. We offered this lecture, in September 2023 and raised 1775.00 for the BC SPCA, with just about 40 therapists in attendance!!! And last April 2024 we offered it again and raised $1625 for the BC SPCA with 29 therapists attending!!! 

For this lecture you will need a working knowledge of

the window of tolerance & the polyvagal

and must be a psychotherapist with a clinical graduate degree living in Canada
