Private Training

Need to train a larger group of 10 or more? You can get customized training on your schedule by setting up a private training. We’ll work with you to find a training and facilitator that fit your needs. You’ll then have the opportunity to talk about what you want with the trainer, so they can better understand your team’s unique needs and goals.

Consulting

Do you need to develop and implement strategies in your private practice, organization, or school? Our experienced consultants can help you discover your strengths and provide support as you implement positive change, increase safety, and become more trauma-informed. Services range from clinical consultation to critical incident group debriefing. We choose to start with empathy and curiosity over judgement, in order to help you create environments and connections where everyone can thrive.
