STAR: Strategies for Trauma Awareness & Resilience

As our world continues to navigate ongoing challenges, the need for trauma and resilience education remains critical. We are pleased to offer STAR Level 1 and STAR Level 2 trainings in both online and in-person formats to meet the diverse needs of individuals, organizations, and communities.

Online trainings feature a blend of scheduled group Zoom sessions and self-paced activities. Participants engage in shared learning, reflection, and practical strategies for building resilience at personal, organizational, and community levels.

In-person trainings offer a rich, immersive experience in a supportive learning environment. These trainings are typically held in consecutive 5 day formats during the spring and summer semesters on the campus of Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

See the schedule below for upcoming training dates and formats.

Unsure of what type of training you might need? We’re ready to listen and help assess your needs based on what we have to offer with no obligation.
