Check out this new (and FREE!) training opportunity in Vermont!

The reviews are rolling in for our new initiative in Vermont!

Beyond Us & Them's council-based programs are now available to all fire and police personnel, first responders, and those who provide services to system-impacted individuals and others under supervision in the state of Vermont.

Our first cohort launched last month and the feedback coming in is already quite powerful:

"The program actually taught me how to better deal with and process my emotions. It exceeded my expectations. I appreciated that I was forced to be very real about what I was feeling deep inside, where things hide."

"I believe we were able to come together as a group and to help each other work through stress and trauma, while also learning coping mechanisms and techniques we can use in the future to help others."

"It truly brought me peace when I was most unhappy. I also appreciate the friendships that were formed in the class."
