BRING THE WORK to Your Team

THF trainings aren't slide decks about trauma. They're hands-on experiences where your team learns the science behind expressive arts in crisis response — and then does the work themselves.

Every training is facilitated by credentialed subject matter experts, customized to your audience and goals, and leaves participants with something they didn't expect to feel. And every dollar funds healing in communities navigating disaster, violence, and loss.

The THF Difference
NOT ANOTHER PowerPoint

The trauma-informed training market is full of slide decks, lecture formats, and certificates that don't change behavior. THF trainings are different because participants don't just learn about healing — they experience it.

Every training includes a hands-on frame-making practicum where your team goes through the same process we facilitate with communities after disaster. It's the difference between reading about swimming and getting in the water.

Participants leave with paint on their hands and something they didn't expect to feel. That's what changes practice.

Experiential

Hands-on frame-making integrated into every session — not a demo, the real thing

Evidence-Based

Built on PFA, expressive arts therapy, and long-term community recovery science

Expert-Led

Credentialed facilitators with real-world deployment experience, not conference speakers

Customized

Built around your team, your audience, and what you're actually trying to change

The FRAME Method

Grief, Loss & Community Healing

Grief & Bereavement Focus

The Impact
EVERY TRAINING FUNDS a Response

THF trainings aren't just professional development — they're how we fund our rapid response work. Revenue from training services goes directly toward supporting communities after disaster, violence, and loss.

When you book a training, the investment goes two ways: your team gains trauma-informed skills and direct experience of the FRAME Method, and communities in crisis receive the healing support they need to get through the long road ahead.

Your team gets better at showing up for others. And the training itself shows up for communities that need it most.

SOME TRAININGS BECOME partnerships

Many of our strongest corporate partners started with a training. If your organization is ready to go deeper — funding gatherings, engaging employees in the field, and building a sustained relationship with THF — that's what Corporate Partnerships are designed for.

There's no pressure to get there. But the door is open.

Corporate Partnerships

Sponsor gatherings, fund rapid response, engage employees in the work, and build a partnership with measurable impact and full transparency on where your investment goes.
