Silver Linings International
Facilitating Progress and Positive Change
All of our offerings combine the application of SAMHSA’s six Trauma-Informed principles, positive psychology, and Appreciative Inquiry. The unique environment created by this approach allows participants to be present in a safe and brave space. This fosters a shift in thinking, a deep understanding of concepts, and thought-provoking interactive reflections with course instructors, coaches, and other participants. This is the foundation for our hub for learning, facilitation, and consultation.
