Our Expertise
Resilience Training
Learning together builds resilient teams and staff.
We prepare staff for the most challenging environments.
Humanitarians are subjected to unusually high levels of stress that have physical, emotional, and behavioral consequences. Our training programs are designed to prepare staff for the most challenging environments.
In group training, we provide both information and applied skills designed to build individual and team resilience. Our clinicians use the latest neuroscience to reframe the effects of chronic stress, vicarious trauma, and critical incident exposure as normal reactions to abnormal situations. Once participants understand why they are struggling, we can help them make changes to support healthy individual and team function.
Group training empowers teams to improve communication and conflict resolution in cross-cultural environments, cope with sleep dysregulation, maintain meaningful relationships, manage stress in high-risk environments, and more.
