Before We Get Started
At Deer Park, we operate on the following assumptions.
1) All people have equal value and worth (yes, including you).
2) You are already whole.
3) Relationships are the cause of — and solution to (most) emotional traumas.
Our goal with all of our trainings is to 1) crush the myths that keep us from believing these truths, and 2) make the world a better place in the process. No biggie.
We offer trainings that introduce the principles of trauma-informed practice and healing-centered engagement. We’ll cover the neurobiology of trauma, how early relationships affect our emotional development, emotional literacy and regulation, tools to repair relationship rifts, compassion fatigue and burnout, and the growing science of resilience.

Emotional Liberation
Emotional Liberation is a program designed to help you, your family, your school, your organization, and/or your community develop the knowledge and skills to engage in healing-centered practices. It’s a program that teaches the process of healing and resilience.
We know that resilient communities are the result of healthy relationships. Lots and lots of healthy relationships. So, the first step is to remind people how to relate to each other in ways that preserve the dignity of all parties involved.
Emotional Liberation covers:
1) the neurobiology of trauma
2) the intergenerational effects of trauma
3) how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) AND Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) affect our ability to relate to each other, and
4) the emotional skills we all need in order to form meaningful, healthy relationships
Once you’ve completed this training, you and your organization will have the building blocks to take it to the next level and ensure that the policies, procedures, and culture of your organization match the 6 Guiding Principles of Trauma-Informed Care laid out by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association (SAMHSA).
We hope this workshop will give you and your colleagues an oasis of time to consider how your organization can become wholly trauma-informed.
