Advocates & Crisis Response Centers
"How Healing Happens: Exiting the Drama Triangle" is an interactive workshop that equips people to discuss sexual maltreatment. We teach people to transition out of a victim mindset by blending Stephen Karpman's Drama Triangle and Cannon’s Trauma Response Theory with an analysis of Anna Westbrook's Isabel and the Runaway Train (the grassroots theatre project that took Austin by storm in July 2018). Why does it work? Trauma leads to drama. And consequently, intentionally leveraged drama can bring healing to survivors of traumatic events.

Are you looking to proactively address the cultural environment of your troops? Hoping to raise awareness about modern social justice issues with established leaders in order to increase retention rates of your new recruits? You need the best HR programming available.
