Foundations of Resilience (formerly CRI’s Course One) *Pre-requisite to Training of Trainers

This course takes place live over zoom on February 25 and 26 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM PST

Build a strong, practical foundation in trauma-informed care and resilience through CRI’s KISS framework—Knowledge, Insight, Strategies, and Structure. This course bridges theory and real-world application, equipping you with evidence-based resilience strategies you can apply immediately.

You will explore the foundational NEAR Sciences—Neuroscience, Epigenetics, ACE Studies, and Resilience—while deepening your understanding of the vital connection between knowledge and insight. Through this lens, you will learn core practices that strengthen your capacity to support others through effective self-regulation and co-regulation.

At its core, this course empowers you to confidently recognize and respond to trauma—even when an individual’s history is unknown—while fostering resilience, safety, and meaningful connection in every interaction.

Trainers: Penny Capko and Becky Turner


Moving from Trauma Informed to Healing Centered Practices

This course will be held live over Zoom on:

Monday February 2 and 9 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM PT


When stress becomes prolonged or intense (trauma), the body and brain enter a stress-based state. This can lead to ongoing stress symptoms like trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, chronic tension, stress-related ailments, or learning challenges. These effects can have a cascading impact across the lifespan.

Healing-centered practices help the body and brain return to a balanced, restorative, or high-performance state. Central to this process is the care of the brain, nervous system, and stress-related patterns held in the muscle memory. Advances in neuroscience and epigenetics inspire powerful habits to relieve stress and improve well-being.

Course Objectives:

  • Integrate healing-centered and restorative practices into trauma-informed care.
  • Experience simple ways to take care of your brain and central nervous system in order to feel better and be at your best throughout the day.
  • Grow understanding of the connection between stress and disease and the importance of stress-relief practices.
  • Create muscle memories that support optimal functioning of your brain, heart, and lungs.
  • Activate and strengthen your social engagement and learning systems.
  • Experience co-regulation in action and the power of mirror neurons.
  • Develop a mindset and habits to support your goals.
  • Gain actionable insights to boost your health at the cellular level.
  • Recognize the deep connection between culture and healing.
