The Trauma Informed Academy is a nonprofit that gives schools, healthcare, behavioral health and organizations practical, brain-based tools for overwhelming times — built on TR-EQ, Trauma-Responsive Emotional Intelligence.
Trauma shows up in every classroom, clinic and workplace. We don't add another program to your plate — we build the everyday skills that make people calmer, kinder and more resilient. Shift happens one interaction at a time.
Practical, neuroscience-based strategies — not theory that stays on the shelf.
Trauma-Responsive Emotional Intelligence: skills anyone can learn and use right away.
One source across many sectors — shaped to your people, your setting and your goals.
For schools and educators — simple, brain-based strategies that calm classrooms, support students and keep great teachers from burning out.
TR-EQ is our flagship model: a set of learnable skills that help people respond — instead of react — when things get hard. It works because everyone is exposed to stress, and everyone's response is their own.
Notice what's happening inside before it takes the wheel.
Read the room and the people in it with more accuracy and care.
Find the space between what happens and how we answer it.
Settle the nervous system so thinking — and learning — can happen.
Stay grounded and act with intention, even under pressure.
Turn setbacks into genuine growth that lasts.
Weave trauma-responsive EQ into the training you already do — practical, repeatable and built to stick.
One-to-one and team coaching that turns the model into everyday habits for leaders and staff.
Support for regulated settings — from QRTP to long-term care — that strengthens practice where it's inspected.
Universal exposure, unique response, and EQ over diagnosis — the principles that make the change durable.
With 25+ years in trauma-informed care, Elizabeth built The Trauma Informed Academy to put real, usable tools in the hands of the people who need them most.
