| The 3-Ds
We typically give fifteen minutes of Neuroscience 101 so that trainees can differentiate stress responses as burnout, trauma or critical incident reactions. Trainees then appreciate why burnout improves with rest/relaxation – and how trauma might get worse when trying to relax. 
We approach every training group assuming a diversity of cognitive styles and needs, and thus we have won the respect of laypeople who complain that previous stress management classes were boring, irrelevant or too psychological. Our experience with cross-cultural consultation and international disaster response brings adaptability to our curricula, table top exercises and resiliency methods. 
Every training is designed to diffuse horizontally and vertically. Our strengths-based and biological understanding of resilience diffuses as a shared understanding to peers and senior leadership. Trainees develop a trauma-informed approach to the community with whom they work. Everyone learns via neuroscience that trauma reactions are largely “under the hood” (and not a result of being weak-minded). This awareness loosens the grip of blame, shame and stigma.
