Testimonials

"STAR Training effectively examines multiple perspectives of traumatized individuals and explores how trauma impacts relationships, families, societies, and even countries.  It provides tools to break the cycles of violence of trauma for individuals and communities to move toward forgiveness, healing and restoration."
Ryan Van Wyk, PsyD, LP


"STAR focused my lens and deepened my understanding of the role trauma plays in all of our lives. When allowing the broader and deeper understanding of trauma into my own life and work, I find more places to build resilience in myself, and to guide others to find their strength more easily."
Holly Ingersoll, Ramsey County Social Worker III


"The STAR Training exposes the obscure but destructive effects of personal and societal trauma. It teaches models and tools for healing while reminding us of the resiliency of the human spirit to not only survive but thrive and flourish."
Sophia Park, ThD, LMFT, Shoreview, MN
