Transcending Trauma and Integrating the Past into New life
A program for anyone who’s life has been interrupted with sudden, unexpected change caused by accidents, crimes and other events that interrupted life as it was experienced before.
Grief Recovery: Grieving the Loss and Embracing New Life
When we lose a loved one suddenly, unexpectedly with little if any warning, the shock and sense of bewilderment must be dealt with first before we can move into a new life where our beloved is experienced in a spiritual instead of physical way.
Suicide Prevention and Postvention for Organizations
As a master trainer for the QPR Institute Carolyn offers programs to organizations where individuals are trained to recognize risk factors as well as warning signs of individuals who are at risk for suicide. QPR (Question, Persuade and Refer) is a research based approach designed to train everyone at home, workplace, and schools on how to offer support and assistance. Learning how to respond to a suicide that has occurred, or postvention is an essential part of preventing a follow on suicide.
The Human Energy System as a Map for Spiritual Growth
Coping with changes in one’s life can be greatly improved by learning to manage one’s energy. Before Frued and Jung and the development of Western psychology, individuals from the East relied on teachings about the human energy system in understanding physical, emotional, psychological issues. Learning to navigate inevitable changes in life as part of our spiritual growth can be enhanced with a greater understanding of the ancient chakra system. As we learn to manage our energy, we learn to manage our lives.
enroll in classes and learn about training offered by HRI
To enroll in grief education classes or QPR Training offered by HRI, please follow the link below to learn more details about scheduling and pricing. Survivors must complete an application for the classes in advance. Anyone who has been diagnosed with PTSD at any time in their life will need a statement from their clinician approving their attendance in the educational classes. Survivors whose loved one has died in less than 18 months will need to have approval from their counselor or physician before attending classes—as for most people, psychotherapy may be more helpful in the initial aftermath of the loss and HRI classes are not intended to replace any medical or other psychological intervention.
