BRING HEALING to Your Organization

THF trainings aren't slide decks about trauma. They're hands-on experiences where your team learns the science behind expressive arts in crisis — and then does the work themselves. Participants leave with paint on their hands and something they didn't expect to feel.

Every training is facilitated by credentialed subject matter experts and customized to your audience. 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 fundamentally 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 in communities after crisis. 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.

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, your investment has a dual impact: your team gains trauma-informed skills and hands-on experience, and communities in crisis receive the healing support they need.

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