For schools, agencies & departments
Your people are carrying other people's worst days. We train for that.
AAI delivers trauma-informed training, consultation, and program partnerships to schools, public agencies, first-responder departments, nonprofits, and faith communities across southeast Alabama.
Why this matters
Burnout is not a personal failing. It is a staffing problem with a clinical cause.
In small communities, the same twenty people absorb almost every crisis: the school counselor, the DHR caseworker, the dispatcher, the ER nurse, the pastor, the deputy who answers the same address for the fourth time this year.
They are not trained for what that does to a nervous system over a decade, and they are rarely given anywhere to put it. So they leave — and the next person starts over with the same families, from zero.
We work with organizations to change that: practical trauma-informed training, consultation that names the real constraints, and clinical support for the staff who need it. Led by a licensed clinical social worker with a doctorate in social work, who still carries a caseload.

Training catalog
Four trainings we deliver now.
Each one can run as a 90-minute block, a half-day, or a full-day intensive. Custom sessions are built on request — if what you need is not here, ask.
01
SOCIAL WORKERS, THERAPISTS, NURSES, DOCTORS, ETC.
Trauma-Informed Response for First Responders and Individuals Working with Survivors
What trauma does to the body and the brain, how it shows up on a call, and how responders carry it home. Built for shift schedules — delivered in 90-minute blocks or a half-day.
02
Schools, agencies, nonprofits, clinics
Secondary Trauma & Burnout for Staff Teams
Why the people who care most leave first, and what a supervisor can actually change. Includes a team assessment and a follow-up session 60 days later.
03
Schools, DHR staff, faith communities
Supporting Kinship & Grandparent-Led Families
The legal, financial, and emotional realities of kinship caregiving, and the specific ways institutions accidentally make it harder.
04
Middle and high schools, youth programs
Youth Mental Health Literacy
For students and the adults around them: naming what you're feeling, recognizing crisis in a friend, and what asking for help actually looks like.
Something else?
We build custom training for specific teams and specific incidents. Tell us the situation on the call and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
We would rather run one program well inside your building than hand you a binder and wish you luck.
Program partnerships
Beyond training, we co-run programs with partner organizations: Ambassadors/Youth Ambassadors Program cohorts inside schools, support groups hosted in partner space, resource tables at your events, and clinical referral pathways for families your staff are already worried about.
Referral partnerships cost nothing. If you have families who need affordable therapy, send them to us — sessions start at $45 with a sliding scale, and we will tell you honestly if we cannot take them.
Book a call
Tell us what is happening. We will tell you what we can do.
A 30-minute call, no cost and no obligation. We will come back with a one-page proposal or an honest referral elsewhere.
