Resilience literacy training isn't guesswork. It's grounded in decades of research on identity, stress, and decision-making under pressure — delivered through storytelling, mindfulness, and real practice, not theory alone. Our August Institute (Aug 11–14, virtual) puts that research to work for leaders navigating high-stakes moments.

What is resilience literacy? It's the skill of noticing a hard moment about identity or difference at work, and knowing how to reframe it instead of freezing. Our August Institute (Aug 11–14, virtual) teaches leaders exactly that — before those moments disrupt teams, workplace climate, or trust.

What does it mean to lead without abandoning yourself?

The Resilience Literacy Institute was designed for people navigating the emotional realities of leadership, care work, advocacy, education, and identity-based stress every day.

This year, thanks to support from the American Psychological Association, we’re able to offer partial scholarships to help expand access to this work.
We strongly encourage BIPOC professionals, mental health practitioners, educators, and inclusive teams to apply.

Applications close on July 17th.

Your story matters. Your regulation matters. Your leadership matters.

“And so much a part of this work is around just slowing down and noticing…when we start to tell our stories, what’s happening for us? Even if those stories took place decades ago, these stories still are in our bodies.” - Dwight Dunston Duns | Inspirationally Creating + Innovating
