- anyone relating to people, young and old, who suffer from the effects of trauma
- for any who have served at THYR in the past, and wish for a refresher in this material
**No RSVP required. Feel free to bring guests.
We do currently have youth, especially boys, who are waiting to be paired with a mentor this fall season. If you, or someone you know, are interested in serving one of these youth this spring, Tricia Livingston can tell you more about this. You can contact her through email at
dHVsc2FoaWxsc3lvdXRocmFuY2ggfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ== or by texting or calling at 361-548-6290.
This training - shaped by Donna Freeman, a certified educator in TBRI and founder of the Ranch alongside her husband Mike - is one that we offer a couple times a year and allows for impactful and effective dialogue among the participants. One will receive information regarding the science of trauma and its effects upon the human brain, the brain's development, and how the brain heals. Further and specifically, we will focus on how nurturing human relationships bring healing, and how we apply this approach in the context of the Tulsa Hills Youth Ranch, a working farm featuring horses, other farm animals, gardens, a woodworking shop, a fishing pond, and numerous other recreational activities. If interested in mentoring a youth, you will receive specific guidance on the format and schedule of our mentor sessions as well as an orientation as to our safety protocols. This approach is one that can be applied in any other context.
