Introducing N.A.N: Narcissistic Abuse Certification

Whether in the workplace or at home, narcissistic abuse is often the underlying factor in an abusive relationship. The Narcissistic Abuse Network (N.A.N) raises awareness of the effects of narcissism by educating and training professionals such as counsellors and therapists on typical narcissistic behaviours. We also offer narcissistic abuse-certified courses and training to corporations and official organizations, including the police, social services, schools, and universities, among others. These courses are designed to better equip these entities to assist individuals in abusive relationships, helping them regain control of their lives.

Most of us will have worked with a narcissist at some point, or we may know someone who fits this description within our family. You may have a partner or a friend who is a narcissist. The problem with this type of person is the careful and methodical approach they use to abuse their victims; it’s often unseen by others. N.A.N provides training that enables participants to recognize the signs and symptoms of narcissistic abuse and offers guidance on how to support victims as they begin and continue the recovery process. This training is delivered through several formats, including certified workshops for Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coaches.

Narcissistic abuse: Escaping the Void

Everyone’s experiences with narcissism will differ but there are commonalities. Most people start their journey unaware they are in a narcissistic relationship. Over time, such relationships tend to become emotionally abusive, but the effects are often hidden to others.

It is only when the person trapped within a narcissistic situation becomes self-aware that they are then able to break out of this cycle. Our aim is to help professionals better recognize these behaviours and assist victims in moving on and rebuilding their lives, staying free from narcissistic influence.
