Build your culture with clarity not complexity

 The fastest way to build a trauma-informed culture is to stop the overwhelm and confusion of fragmented meetings or one-and-done training and instead zero in on the one thing that opens or closes the door for genuine connection. 

A more settled, trauma-informed culture

  Create a more settled, healing, trauma-informed culture - and minimize the potential for re-traumatization - by focusing on the single most influential factor of post-traumatic growth.  

Unlock high quality interactions

 Unlock the potential for higher quality interactions without confusing role boundaries, draining staff energy, or adding more to their plate - and clear the path for youth to make progress toward their goals.

Boost interpersonal effectiveness

 Integrated in the program is the research-based Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI 2.0) which boosts interpersonal effectiveness with feedback on how personal values and strengths are applied in interactions - and how dynamics change during various stages of conflict.
