Short description of training concepts discussed in collaboration with organizations, agencies or schools to help create resilience and spaces of Collective Well-Being.
What is Creating Resilience?
Trauma Informed Training and Consulting
Creating Resilience exists to train groups of individuals to respond and support people with trauma histories and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). C.R. uses trauma informed strategies to build safe environments, calm and focus behaviors, and increase competency and executive functions. Our positive interactions will have a ripple effect on the world.
