From Patterns to Practice

Join Coach Kristie for a powerful, six-week live online course built on the We Are Resilient™ framework — a research-backed, trauma-informed approach to building Personal, Relational, and Group Resilience used in schools, healthcare settings, and communities across the country.

This is more than a class — it’s a guided practice for parents and caregivers who are ready to stop repeating their patterns and start understanding them. Think of it as your resilience toolkit for the moments when you snap, shut down, or say something you regret — and finally want to know why.

Each week we meet live on Zoom for 90 minutes — teaching, guided practice, real conversation, and direct application to the moments happening in your life right now. Between sessions, you’ll have access to a private community space where you can ask questions, share wins, and be supported by a small group of parents doing the same honest work.

This is not a lecture series. It is not a list of tips. It is a guided practice — and by the end of six weeks, you will have built something real.

This interactive course offers:

• A name for the pattern that keeps showing up in your hardest parenting moments
• Tools to recognize and shift reactions before they move through you
• Centering and Connecting Skills you can reach for in real time
• A framework for repair — what to do after the moment has already gone sideways
• A supportive circle of parents doing honest work in good company

“The Protective Patterns concepts and graphics were a real ‘a-ha’ moment for me. Recognizing these patterns in myself and others is clearly an important first step to better managing stressful situations.” ~ Katharine G., Course Participant

Each course runs for six weeks and meets once a week for 90 minutes. Choose a start date and time that works best for you — each session is offered at a different time of day.

If none of the upcoming times work for you, email Coach Kristie at kristie@dovetaillearning.org and we’ll be happy to reach out with additional options.
