•  Our resilience-training programs are based on two decades  of research by Kristin MacDermott, a licensed marriage and family therapist, conflict resolution specialist, and resilience expert.

​

•  Over the past two decades, she has developed resilience training programs for some of the highest performing people on the planet, including Navy SEALS, the Los Angeles Police Department, and healthcare providers at 20 hospitals across the country, including at Duke Health and the National Institutes of Health. She has created programs for corporate executives, cancer patients, at-risk youth in inner-city Los Angeles, and students at top universities.

​

•  Her resilience-training programs have been validated in four studies (including two randomized-controlled trials) with researchers from the Duke Clinical Research Institute, published in peer-review journals, and proven to promote clinically significant improvement in key mental health and resilience measures, including distress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and self-efficacy.

​

•  Our passion is helping families. Families can and should be our greatest source of joy as humans, but as a society, we fail to teach the basic skills necessary to nurture supportive, good-feeling relationships. Our mission is to teach those skills to every family who wants to experience more connection, joy, and love, as well as to the advisors who serve them.
