APPS
Community Training and Empowerment
Our programs have provided resilience training to thousands of people throughout the United States and worldwide, empowering individuals and communities to cope effectively with the adversity arising from disasters, pandemics, and other traumatic events.
The Institute offers peer support and trauma training programs for individuals and organizations wishing to become more resilient.
Healing
In Colorado Springs, the Healing Division has provided desperately needed trauma recovery care services to veterans, emergency responders, trauma survivors, and family members since opening in 2014. In 2023, Milestones Resilience Care will open to the public, delivering a new model of trauma recovery care focused on a whole-person healing approach. Rather than treating trauma survivors as “sick,” the center will build on an individual’s innate ability to heal by cultivating resilience through a focus on mind, body, and spirit.
LIFE HAPPENS. BE READY. The Greater Resilience Information Toolkit (GRIT) is a free online self-guided resilience training that can be utilized within your own social networks after your community has experienced a trauma.
