Whether your a clinician, clergy, counselor, friend, educator, or family member, trauma impacts your life. Listening to it, living around the effects of it, helping people recovering from it expose you to its effects.

Overwhelming events often occur in context of relationships, and healing from them is best done in relationships. We can't expect wounds from trauma to heal in isolation. We can't expect helpers to be unaffected.

Risking Connection® is the program for creating an effective foundation for trauma-informed relationships.

Risking Connection® isn't a how-to model, and it isn't a set of steps to take. It's a frame of reference that changes the way you think about the people who have survived trauma – and how you think about yourself.

Risking Connection® provides a robust relational foundation for every intervention.
