Our Approach
Traumatic stress is tricky because it’s not just stress; it’s trauma. We’ve developed a workaround - a way to reach each staff member and activate change.
Rather than cold powerpoints that trigger, our expert-led programs are interactive, therapeutic, memorable, and personal without crossing any professional boundaries. Our learning experiences provide a powerful long-term positive impact that will ripple throughout your organization.
Frontline defense.
Better mental health on-and-off the job saves lives, lowers liability, and grows retention.
All of our programs are interactive because humans learn by doing. As trauma specialists and educators, we keep the group safe, motivated, engaged, and wanting more.
