Build a Basic
Knowledge of Trauma

Trauma & Resilience 101 is a two-hour overview that covers the basics of trauma, ACES, and resilience—how stress impacts the body and brain and how we can rewire it for healing.

After the training, you can expect your community or team to have a shared, foundational knowledge of trauma and resilience and how they can begin to heal from trauma as individuals and collectively.

RFR is perfect for groups who feel the first or second-hand impacts of trauma but do not have any language or tools to address those impacts: teachers, students, youth, parents, and inmates to name a few.

ROI offers in-person Trauma & Resilience 101 trainings in Eastern North Carolina and virtual trainings around the world.
