Testimonials
“Thrive Worldwide has been a game-changer for me. Their training equipped me with practical, compassionate strategies to support both my own well-being and that of my team in a high-stress humanitarian environment. I learned how to recognize trauma, foster connection, promote resilience, and apply psychological first aid in real, impactful ways. Thank you for helping me, and those I work with, thrive, even in uncertainty.” — Stanley, ADRA International.
“The online course was so thoughtfully put together and wonderfully and artfully presented. I appreciated how practical it was, and I’m keeping the journal on deck so I can do an even more thoughtful deep dive into the prompts once I’m able to have extra time to myself. The live workshop that you delivered afterwards was a great way to put the pieces together, and demonstrated some practical ways the Emergency Response Coordinators can check in with their staff and promote resilience in their teams. I look forward to continuing to work closely with you as we build up our staff’s wellbeing.” – Weanne, ADRA International.
