Trust Begins Here: The Trustwork Series Certification

Healing Together Through Honest Conversations and Real Connection

Length: 2-hour facilitator certification program | Tools: Repair maps, grounding scripts, roleplay prompts, and reflection templates | Access: Included in Builder Plus, and Professional Certification memberships

Trust doesn’t rebuild itself; it’s guided, earned, and practiced.

The Trustwork Series Certification gives facilitators, caregivers, and community leaders a trauma-aware framework for helping children, teens, and families restore emotional safety and connection.
This isn’t just a curriculum; it’s emotional infrastructure designed to transform how we respond to pain, silence, and repair.

You’ll learn to lead conversations that don’t just calm the storm- they teach how to navigate it.

Who This Is For

  • Foster, kinship, and adoptive caregivers.

  • Youth and family program leaders.
    Church and faith-based ministry leaders.

  • Nonprofit and community mentors.

  • Educators and after-school coordinators seeking trauma-responsive tools.

Why It Works

Because trust isn’t taught; it’s experienced.

The Trustwork Series combines emotional intelligence, trauma awareness, and facilitation science to help you guide authentic, healing conversations.
You’ll learn to identify emotional cues, de-escalate reactions, and rebuild safety through consistent, compassionate dialogue.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to use trauma-informed tools like Safe Bubbles, Truth Threads, and Repair Scripts.
  • How to “hold the room” with calm authority, without control or judgment.
  • How to tailor communication using age-appropriate, role-based trust language.
  • How to structure sessions using the 20/20/20 flow model for rhythm and regulation.
  • How to respond to defiance, silence, disclosure, or emotional overwhelm safely.
  • How to integrate faith or culture respectfully in healing spaces.

You’re not here to fix people.
You’re here to hold safe space where stories can breathe, shame can loosen, and trust can grow.
Start your certification today; because every healing journey begins with trust.
