A practical program to build resilience that lasts
Increasing rates of burnout, moral distress, traumatization, demoralization, and staff attrition often characterize systems (schools, hospitals, workplaces, communities) whose tools to enhance human well-being are struggling to keep pace with an environment of relentless change, diminishing resources, and increasing complexity and risk.
Our neuroscience-based programs teach organizations and individuals how to balance the brain-body relationship, and develop stress reduction tools to build nourishing and positive relationships, at home, at work and within your community. You will learn how to engage the brain’s amazing process of neuroplasticity to make positive changes stick.
brain gain program training
This 12-hour training (four 3-hour sessions) focuses on the neuro-biological basis of distress and trauma as well as resilience. It highlights the reflexive, defensive ways the body responds to threat and fear. And, what the brain-body system needs in order to function at its highest potential. The training includes BGP’s neuroscience foundation, easily learned nonclinical skills, as well as BGP’s four core concepts for dealing with choice points and stressors.

BGP Skills card training
A major component of our brain enhancing program is the BGP Skills Card. The Skills Cards are a training course in a nutshell. They’ve been used all over the world, in all kinds of situations, with diverse populations to teach the Brain Gain Program with no need for a training manual or Powerpoint slides. They are a low cost way to provide groups of people with the BGP information and skills, and are a great takeaway to encourage skills practice with self and others. This training is four 3-hour sessions (12 hours total) and prepares you to teach the Skills Cards in communities such as schools, faith-based organizations, prisons, etc.
