Good Harbor Institute-Where Human Potential and Resilience are Built
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – Frustrated with the unintended consequences of care that wasn't trauma informed in the justice system Dr. Cathy Fialon researched how organizations could implement trauma care for sustained change. In her research she came to know author and community advocate, Shenandoah Chefalo. Shenandoah spent nearly 20 years as a Law Office Administrator and became unsettled by the ever-revolving door of the criminal justice system, and set out to find a way to change it. She attended Coach U and became a certified life coach. Working through that program, Shenandoah began to understand her own foster-care childhood in a way she never had before. Together they realized it was their mission to orchestrate sustainable, implemented trauma care within organizations. In response to this realization they have formed Good Harbor Institute.
At Good Harbor Institute Dr. Cathy Fialon and Shenandoah Chefalo work with leaders and educators in business, K-12, high education, human service organizations, and government organizations to maximize human potential and enhance service. Offering consultation, workshops, and Trauma Care Implemented (TCI) Certification, they work to support organizations to ultimately break the cycle of traumatic adversity moving everyone in the organization toward a more resilient, effective, compassionate way of work.
Many organizations understand their need to become “trauma aware” and may have taken steps to move in that direction. At Good Harbor Institute our mission is to work with an organization to build sustainable, implemented trauma care throughout all levels of the organization. Many trainings and programs offer excellent trauma care information, however; without incorporating all three environments of the organization into a program, sustainability is not achieved. The three environments in every organization are Self (individual employees), Team, and Client/Student/Customer served.
At Good Harbor Institute we create a relationship with your organization to ensure lasting, impactful change. Over the course of year one we provide your organization with assessment, training, and utilize implementation strategies to ensure sustainable, implemented change and TCI (Trauma Care Implemented) certification. Subsequent years we provide fidelity support and TCI recertification.
Dr. Cathy Fialon and Shenandoah Chefalo are available for consultation and to provide details of all programming options.
