Prevention Services Director

"This program is one that is easily understood by all levels of staff and very timely. The feedback I have received from the individuals attending this program has been very favorable. Participants have shared their appreciation for a “training” that did not take a lot of time out of their busy schedules, made them more aware of their stress levels and unhealthy ways of coping, and encouraged supporting of one another. This has been a great way for teams to take the time to learn about and from each other."

Brittany Larrabee

Health & Well-Being Consultant

"This course has provided me with interactive tools and a foundational guidance system to help others help themselves. What I have learned and hope to share with others is that with the right tools and support, you can cope, build resiliency and thrive."

Nancy Chabot

Wellness Professional, Sales Consultant

"At the time of the training, I was processing my own stress and wanted to improve my coping skills. I had just learned about loved ones being diagnosed with illness and my caretaking responsibilities were about to ramp up. I also wanted to provide skills to others who are part of the “sandwich generation,” managing the care of their children and their parents at the same time."

Tracy Lyman, MS Ed.

Lecturer, University Supervisor, Early Intervention Specialist

"We often speak about self-care for educators and I appreciate how this course focuses on being preventative and action-focused for individuals. It is crucial that we support our workforce as much as we support our students, so this workshop provides the opportunity to help people recognize their own needs and then work to effectively deal with stress."

OWLS offers the Resilience Thriving Coach Training both in partnership with Real Balance Global Wellness and directly for groups and affiliates worldwide.

As a result of taking Dr. Joel Bennett’s Resilience & Thriving Facilitator and Resilience to Thriving Coach training courses, I’m now better equipped with additional tools in my resilience toolkit to not only facilitate my own thriving, but that of my clients as well."
