OUR OFFERINGS

Simple tools. Powerful results. Reconnect for Resilience™ (Reconnect) teaches about the biological effects of trauma and stress and offers easy-to-use, sharable tools that are designed for real life. In this 14-hour trauma-informed and resiliency-focused training, you will first learn how stress affects the brain and body in simple, relatable terms. You’ll then practice practical, science-based strategies to manage stress on the spot, strengthen relationships, and build resilience in yourself and those around you. Reconnect is designed to help entire communities develop a common language around the science of stress and resilience and provide practical tools that anyone can use to feel better and thrive, even on the toughest days.

Have you ever felt so mad you couldn’t think straight? Or found yourself endlessly scrolling on your phone after an overwhelming day at work? Does it feel like you’re on a rinse and repeat cycle with pressure building up around you? When we experience ongoing stress, our bodies react in ways that make it feel hard to get off this merry-go-round.

Join us for a 1-hour Reconnect for Better Days presentation to learn why this happens to us and, most importantly, what we can do about it. We’ll pull back the curtain on these difficult experiences and explain the science behind what goes on in our brains and bodies when we are stressed. When we understand what’s happening to us, we can learn to spot problems as they arise and use practical tools in the moment that help us feel better and experience better days.

Big events can hit us hard and affect us in many ways. Listening Circles help us name what is most difficult about them and practice tools that can help with stress, right now. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or upset; if you saw or responded to something hard; or if you are looking to connect with others in the community, join us as we lean on one another and highlight what is getting us through difficult time. Listening Circles are live, interactive 1-hour sessions that help participants connect and support one another.

Do ever feel frustrated when your child is upset and can’t seem to hear you, or struggle to connect with your teen when they’re having a bad day?

You’re not alone! Parents and caregivers often feel this way and wonder if they’re getting it right. The good news is that there are things you can do to help your child – and yourself – get through even the hardest days.

Join us for 1 hour as we talk about why kids think, feel, and act the way they do, especially during tough times. We’ll also share some everyday tools that you can use to boost your connection and support your children and teens.

If your team has already taken a Reconnect training, this is the perfect way to freshen up your skills!

If you wish to become a Resiliency Champion and your last attended Reconnect was over one year ago, attending a Refresher is a requirement before enrolling in a Champions workshop.

Just as the forest and mountains stand strong, our families have a natural ability to overcome challenges. Explore activity stations filled with nature-inspired arts, crafts, and stories that celebrate the strength within us. As you journey through each station, collect stamps on your Resilience Adventure Card and uncover simple tips to help your family grow stronger together. This afternoon of creativity, connection, and play is perfect for families ready to blaze a trail to resilience!

Turn good intentions into real support. Learn simple, powerful strategies to help others when it matters most. In this 1-hour, interactive training, you’ll learn how hard times affect us all in different ways and what you can do and say to help others after a crisis.
