“The magnitude of young people's exposure to overwhelming stress is so great and such a threat to national well-being that the issue must be addressed as a major public health concern.”
-Dr. Sandra L. Bloom
"Becoming trauma-informed is a journey that lasts a lifetime."
Being overworked, overwhelmed, and burnt out is normal—but it's not what's best for us.
Whether you, or the team you lead, is running on empty, there’s a
way to rest and recharge that will last for years to come.
Our signature method of trauma-informed coaching was developed by Shenandoah Chefalo, who survived childhood abuse and neglect before and during her placement in the broken foster care system.
Through her own healing journey, traditional education, and experiential learning, Shen developed a system of organizational change that is effective, impactful, and sustainable.
