Our Mission
We help professionals create Trauma Informed environments that heal and empower.
Our Story
We all have witnessed the impact of trauma on our society. Our founder, Emily Santiago decided to build the program she felt her and her colleagues needed to address burnout and turnover in schools.
In 2017, as a University instructor in the Educational Psychology department at California State University East Bay, our founder, Emily Santiago worked with professors to develop the Trauma Informed Specialist program. A year later, the Center for Social Resilience was established and our first certification cohort began.
Our pioneering program is building experts across the US and abroad who can respond effectively to the needs of children with trauma, implement practices that promote equity and healing, and ensure all educators have the emotional capacity to prevent burnout.
The Center for Social Resilience offers a unique approach to healing trauma by building the emotional capacity of individuals and organizations. We have a strengths based Social Resilience Scale and now provide training, coaching and peer support programs. We truly believe that when we focus on the needs of people impacted by trauma, we will drive a revolution of compassion and innovation in our communities.
