“I would use the tools both personally and professionally. With clients, coworkers, friends and family. I think they are universal skills that can benefit someone regardless of their employment, or impact from a disaster.”

“As case managers working numerous disasters, vicarious trauma is a common challenge. Imagine You training equips us with tools to enhance our work and to support our clients, offering skillful approaches to guide them through crises. Imagine You training also provides tools to support ourselves during traumatic and stressful events.”

-Norma S. Lacy, Northern Catholic Social Services Program Manager Disaster Case Management & Outreach Prevention/ Education Programs

"The Imagine You training is effective in its simple approach that centers each of our own unique sense of well-being. The Spanish language pilot program meets a critical need to invest in mental health supports that recognize cultural wealth. The bilingual, bicultural facilitators put power in the hands of the Latine* and Indigenous Promotora CHWs who in turn reaffirm that power in their clients. Thank you for the good reminder that we have the power to feel better!”

— Jocelyn Boreta, “The Botanical Bus”

*Latine is a gender-neutral form of the word Latino, created by gender non-binary and feminist communities in Spanish-speaking countries. The objective of the term is to remove gender from Spanish, by replacing it with the gender-neutral Spanish letter E, which can already be found in words like estudiante.
