Crisis Response Training

Shelly Pinomaki's Crisis Response Training: Intro to CARES

Dr. Jamie Marich's Trauma and the 12 Steps

An inclusive, research-based guide to working the 12 steps: a trauma-informed approach for clinicians, sponsors, and those in recovery.

Step 1: You admit that you're powerless over your addiction. Now what?

12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped countless people on the path to recovery. But many still feel that 12-step programs aren't for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place. Advances in addiction medicine, trauma, neuropsychiatry, social theory, and overall strides in inclusivity need to be integrated into modern-day 12-step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today.

Dr. Jamie Marich, an addiction and trauma clinician in recovery herself, builds necessary bridges between the 12-step's core foundations and up-to-date developments in trauma-informed care. Foregrounding the intersections of addiction, trauma, identity, and systems of oppression, Marich's approach treats the whole person--not just the addiction--to foster healing, transformation, and growth.

Written for clinicians, therapists, sponsors, and those in recovery, Marich provides an extensive toolkit of trauma-informed skills that:
• Explains how trauma impacts addiction, recovery, and relapse
• Celebrates communities who may feel excluded from the program, like atheists, agnostics, and LGBTQ+ folks
• Welcomes outside help from the fields of trauma, dissociation, mindfulness, and addiction research
• Explains the differences between being trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive; and
• Discusses spiritual abuse as a legitimate form of trauma that can profoundly impede spirituality-based approaches to healing.

The Intro to CARES Course provides you with the beginning tools, resources, and knowledge that you need to help others through an emotional crisis. This 5-part video training series will share with you the incredible story of Shelly Pinomaki and how she overcame a major crisis in her own life. Her story, along with our CARES Card will introduce you to life-saving resources that have already impacted thousands of individuals looking for hope and help in crisis.

Depression

Jodie Skillicorn's Healing Depression without Medication

What if everything we thought we knew about depression—and how to heal from it—was wrong?

Many antidepressants—the first line in our standard of care for treating depression—bring with them potential health risks, yet 1 in 6 Americans takes medication to alleviate feeling sad, anxious, stuck, or unable to focus or sleep. More and more, conventional medicine pathologizes how we respond to life’s challenges—like feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job, grieving the death of a loved one, or being anxious about a bad relationship—telling us that they’re symptoms of disease.

Psychiatrist Jodie Skillicorn presents a new path, debunking the myth of the neurochemical imbalance and exploring the roots of depression, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poorly managed day-to-day stress. Evidence-based and fully supported by current depression research, Dr. Skillicorn’s holistic methods for beating depression—including nutrition, mindfulness, fostering meaningful connections, exercise, sleep, nature, and breathwork—empower readers to become agents of their own wholeness and healing.

IFS (Internal Family Systems)

Jenna Riemersma's Altogether You: Experiencing personal and spiritual transformation with Internal Family Systems therapy (LINK)

Therapist and speaker Jenna Riemersma applies the groundbreaking insights of Internal Family Systems (IFS) for anyone who feels stuck in unwanted feelings and behaviors, with a special focus on personal transformation for readers of faith. In Altogether You, she explains why our parts are so often at war—parts of us wanting to please others and do things right while other parts seem bent on acting out, shutting down, or engaging in hurtful behaviors. Jenna explores the surprising IFS insight that our warring parts are actually trying to help us, even when what they’re doing or feeling is not helpful. By genuinely welcoming all our parts and learning how to access our God-created core Self, we can finally experience the change, integration, and wholeness we’ve been looking for.Altogether You delivers practical, life-affirming counsel from a leading therapist and speaker of deep personal faith. Riemersma understands the unique discouragement that people of faith experience when their actions do not line up with their sincere beliefs. With genuine sensitivity to tradition and biblical teachings, she helps readers understand that God is not waiting in frustration on the other side of our “pile of sins” until we “get our act together.” Rather, the God of grace is with us right here, right now in our core imago Dei—the always-accessible starting point for healing.Riemersma’s book is packed with warm, personal stories and immediately applicable insights. She guides readers through paradigm-altering understandings with helpful definitions and summaries, self-inventories, action steps, and resources.

Leadership

Jaz Ampaw-Farr's Human-First Leaders Course

Overcome Overwhelm And Navigate Chaos Like A Boss
FIVE WEEKS OF VIDEO TRAINING AND WEBINAR COACHING FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM

Does this sound familiar?

Your ‘new normal’ has added pressure on your work and home life and you want to find balance for yourself and those around you.

Leading yourself and others, at work and home, leaves you with little time for filling your own cup – even though you know that comes at a cost to all.

You’re managing the demands of remote work, and know a huge reset is going to be required to transition from your current reality to a new way of being.

Even when you’re not navigating a nationwide lockdown, you face constant challenges at work and in life and you know that success requires more than a tick box approach to wellbeing.

Imagine creating the change you want to see with a set of tools that deepen connection, supercharge self-awareness and increase impact in teams and families.

We’re not going ‘back to normal’ but forward to a new and different future. If there was ever was a time to invest in yourself it’s now! Resilience is about choosing to reframe and pivot from merely surviving, way past thriving and towards driving change.

In order for that to happen, you have to put your own oxygen mask on first so that you can build up those around you!

My Human-First Leadership Course will help you embed ambitious resilience in yourself and those you lead.

Loss/Grief/Suicide

Music

Mike Skinner has appeared on many TV, radio and Internet shows and has been the subject of many news articles regarding child abuse and mental health. Michael is also a frequent and sought after blogger on several websites and writer of articles for mental health publications. He has contributed chapters for three books, “Jyu No Tobira” [ “The Door To Freedom - Live Your Life From Today”] published in Japan, “Our Encounters with Suicide”, Europe and Great Britain and, “You Can Help: A Guide for Family & Friends of Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Assault”, United States. Michael is also featured in the film documentary, “Hold Me Right”, addressing the aftermath of sexual abuse.

Mike Skinner's Album: Waitin' For A Train

Album: Waitin’ For A Train
Waitin For A Train

“Waitin For A Train” is Michael Skinner’s third full-length CD release over the last decade. An award-winning and outspoken advocate on issues involving child safety and exploitation, Skinner threads a sense of justice through his music, though the tracks “Songs For the Keys To Your Life,” “Joy” and “Maureen” offer his fans the sunshine that has emerged from behind the clouds.

“I’m having more fun now than I’ve ever had,” Skinner said in discussing the release of “Waitin’ For A Train.” “Every song is my story but these are collective stories too,” he explained. “The strength and perseverance of the many other trauma and abuse survivors I’ve met have helped to guide me.”

Mike Skinner's Album: Train of Tears

”Train of Tears” signals the rebirth of Skinner on several levels. The original songs are gritty, touched by the angst his long journey has led him through, but also by a renewed hope. He has dipped into a deep well of emotions and brought them to the surface: Mental Illness is a challenge to be taken on, not a definition of who or what a person is. The stigma, which can be just as damaging as the illness in its isolation, is one that Skinner wants to actively speak out against. The cut “Walk With Me” contains the lyrics, “So open up your eyes, clean out your ears. Learn to listen, listen to learn, and then you’ll hear….”

Mike Skinner's Album: Pirates

Manchester, New Hampshire, musician Mike Skinner has just released “Pirates,” his second full-length album. “I see “Pirates” as a triumph of the spirit,” the guitarist said. “Despite adversity, You can get through life’s trials. I have found many folks who may not be on the exact same journey as me but are willing travelers.The ten songs that comprise the acoustic pop sounds of “Pirates” still address angst and accountability, love and loss, but anger is replaced by a degree of acceptance. Skinner sings in the title cut: “A sturdy ship from those at hand will help your passage, Deliver you to a new land…Position your ship so that the sun shines in their faces.”
