About Reconnect for ResilienceTM
Reconnect for ResilienceTM (Reconnect) is an in-depth, 14-hour trauma resilience training. The training covers seven body-based skills that promote resilience and wellbeing. After the training, you can expect your community or team to be better equipped to handle the impacts of trauma calmly and empathetically, within themselves and with others.
Reconnect is perfect for groups who feel the first or second-hand impacts of trauma: first responders, teachers, students, youth, social workers, inmates, and parents, to name a few.
Through a partnership with Resources for Resilience, ROI offers in person and virtual Reconnect trainings for residents within the Eastern, NC region.
