​+ About the Training +

Historical and inter-generational trauma leave a lasting mark on tribal and urban Native communities, often perpetuating destructive cycles. The visible recurrence of these unhealthy patterns affects workplaces, individuals, families, and communities, often manifesting as behaviors linked to chronic negativity, addiction, people taking their own lives, lateral oppression, violence, and hopelessness. Trauma confines many to deficit thinking, preventing a mindset aligned with our ancestors- one rooted in abundance-based thinking, ideas, and actions. Historical and intergenerational wisdom and resiliency run strong in our blood memory, and when acknowledged and invigorated, healing is possible.

"Where there is Trauma, Healing is the Answer." 
​

This three-day training delves into understanding trauma's impact on the brain and behavior and unraveling its manifestations in workplaces and communities. It guides participants in addressing trauma and fostering healing within their communities. The program also explores how policies and services in programs can be trauma and healing-informed, ushering in a transformative approach. A Healing Village is included to show examples of healing in action.
