“I had a great experience participating in Billye J. Jones ‘Trauma Informed Care: A Client-Centered Approach ‘workshop. She was clear in defining what Trauma Informed Care is as well as explaining the principles, how it changes the brain and how to engage with complex trauma survivors. Ms. Jones made the environment comfortable and was open to answering questions as well as listening to our professional and personal encounters regarding trauma. We were also provided with literature to refer to at our leisure. I recommend this workshop to all Social Workers, Psychologist and Human Service workers in the field.”
“Everyone should complete a training with Billye! She has a wealth of knowledge and presents it in such a safe way. She leaves a lot of time and space for discussion and questions while also providing a lot of content. As a social worker, human, and mother I learned a lot and look forward to experiencing her wisdom again in another training. “
“I have attended three trainings thus far with Ms. Jones over the past 6-12 months. She is knowledgeable, clear and precise in her presentation, and well versed in many areas.”
“Billye Jones is a one-of-a-kind clinician and educator, whose personal commitment to the welfare of traumatized children infuses her teaching. She is a valued member of the faculty of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Westchester Medical Center, where her educational work continues to raise the awareness of psychiatrists-in-training about the impact of trauma on mental illness, and brings depth to our commitment to provided trauma-informed care.”

“She brings to her training workshops her many years of direct clinical experience, community engagement, and a personable and approachable presentation manner. Her presentations are effective for both audiences of professionals in the field of abuse prevention and community members who have no previous experiences discussing child sexual abuse and trauma.”
“Billye created a supportive environment in which to talk and learn in a meaningful and productive way. She worked with us to clearly establish our organizational goals for the workshop and then delivered the outcomes we discussed. It was an illuminating and impactful experience for our staff, and better prepared us to effectively create and disseminate our own program that use the arts to address child sexual abuse.”

“Ms. Jones’ training on trauma triggers and youth was informative, useful and well-organized. It kept a roomful of professionals and paraprofessionals fully engaged throughout the two-hour presentation. Afterward, everyone I spoke to said they found it very helpful and wanted to bring the training to more people in their agency. I’ve attended many presentations on trauma-informed services and hers was one of the best!”

“Attending Billye’s training on Child Sexual Abuse, Complex Trauma, and Long-Term Effects was a powerful and informative experience for me, both personally and professionally. Billye was extremely engaging and provided different mediums for giving information, including a PowerPoint, case examples, and a video. I used the information that I learned from the training the next week at work, and was able to address the complexity of sexual abuse that I might not have recognized before the training.”
