Resilient Colorado’s trauma-informed trainings are in high demand and not available elsewhere. Our holistic approach to community wellness extends to every sector and community-based trainings. We have provided trainings for professional development, medical professionals, childcare providers, colleges, opioid treatment facilities, public health, tribal and government, family and peer support groups, and more.

We support organizations working with priority populations, including HCBS providers, people with disabilities, people experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, LGBTQ+, immigrant, justice-involved, SUD, and suicide prevention. Our work extends across the continuum of care in upstream prevention and downstream treatment and recovery.

Our Most Requested Trainings

  • Across the country, more businesses are adopting a trauma-informed approach. This presentation will introduce trauma-informed concepts and best practices that attendees can immediately apply in their work to foster better outcomes and promote resilience. Individuals who are triggered and re-traumatized have difficulty accessing healing resources. A trauma sensitive approach also helps organizations meet their performance goals, provides better outcomes, and enhances employee engagement and retention.

    Unlike trauma specific clinical services, trauma-informed care can be practiced by every member of the community. Key principles of trauma-informed care include: creating safety, building trust, providing empowerment and choices, and reducing re-traumatization. Each of us has an important role to play in creating safe communities where trusting relationships flourish and people feel empowered to collaborate to support the resilience of everyone.

    Through this presentation, participants will gain an understanding of what trauma is, what causes it, and what can be done to prevent it and/or reverse its effects through an understanding of a trauma-informed approach. Participants will learn the importance of self-care and resilience and leave with some practical and easily applicable tools to use at home, at school, or at work.

  • Does your work entail significant or ongoing stress? Have you ever found yourself feeling completely exhausted as a caregiver or traumatized by another’s pain? We invite you to join us for a practical, interactive, best-practice training to support your own resilience.

  • Do you wish things could just go back to “normal”? Do you feel like you have hit a wall? Are your usual ways of coping unavailable or just not working so well anymore? Join us for a refresh, unpacking the neuroscience that can help us both understand what is happening in our responses, as well as what we can do to build resilience, even in this difficult time.

Workforce Wellbeing

  • Organizations are increasingly recognizing the impact of overwhelming stress and secondary trauma on their workforce. It shows up in measures of productivity, burnout, job satisfaction, employee engagement, and retention. Rather than expect staff to manage their stress as an added “to do” outside of the workday, the most successful organizations are incorporating intentional support for workforce well-being into their culture. Not only does this benefit individual staff members, it makes the entire organization more resilient.

  • Many things can be overwhelming in our jobs: the sheer volume of work, the intensity of the work, even the anger and stress of those we serve, and those we serve alongside, that sometimes is directed at us. Join us for an engaging seminar focused on ways to keep work at work, protect our sense of well-being, and release stress so we can live in a more balanced, joyful way.

  • Do you want to actively strengthen families and support child development in your daily work? This hands-on training equips professionals with the Strengthening Families™ Protective Factors Framework to promote resilience and well-being. 

"Building resilience with direct tools for self and others was a tremendous addition to the Trauma-Informed knowledge I have been exposed to at work. I am just full of hope and enthusiasm after every training I have taken with Doty and want to share the information with as many friends and family members who are willing to safely listen. Doty is a wonderful voice in the global dialogue of cultural shift towards more empathetic, regulated, and resilient communities."

“We continue to reference the teachings you provided during the trauma-informed training six months ago. Lots of ongoing reflections!”

"Our staff has been through TI training before. Resilient Colorado’s presentation was more passionate and clear, and connected additional dots within the trauma-informed approach and service delivery. More trainings from Resilient Colorado on this subject will be invaluable to our organization and other service providers in the region.”

  • Global and national events over the last few years have highlighted inequities that have existed for generations. This training brings a trauma-informed approach to equity and cultural humility. We will explore the impact of micro-aggressions (insidious trauma) and implicit bias. We will also consider the interconnected relationship between trauma, equity, and resilience.

  • Join us for an engaging training where we will take a look at interpersonal conflict through a trauma-informed lens. So many times, instead of responding to the current situation, we re-enact old conflicts in predictable behavior patterns described as “the drama triangle” that are rooted in the neurobiological impacts of our past. Once we understand this phenomenon, we can intentionally make different, more empowering choices to stop the drama, help resolve conflicts, and improve our relationships.
