  • Attentive to ego, with the ability to take a trauma-informed approach to de-escalate conflict

  • A solid understanding of various mental health conditions and appropriate coaching strategies

Priority given to:

  • Those with Cognitive-Behavioral Certifications, or graduate degrees in therapy adjacent work
  • Most ideally those who have certifications in the Co-Active Training institute (CTI) model, of which we try to model our hybrid trauma informed coaching around.
  • Personal experience with homelessness preferred
