Closing the Trauma Gap | Practical, trauma training for the front lines.
Primary care physicians, nurses, teachers, and school administrators, you've become mental health first responders without the training. We're here to change that.
Writing 70% of psychotropic meds after 8 hours of training? You need tools to assess root causes, fast.
You're managing behaviors all day instead of teaching. You need practical regulation skills that work in real time.
Nurses, counselors, support staff, you're treating behavioral health issues without understanding what's driving them.
What We Offer
