SRQ Strong

Finding Our Strengths Together

SRQ Strong isn't a single program. It is an  interconnected ecosystem of training, practice, partnerships, and community development that responds to trauma where it actually lives: in groups, in families, and individuals across Sarasota and Manatee Counties. 


  • Finding Our Strengths Together - Trauma Informed Community Development 
  • Weathering Together - Disaster Recovery 
  • Parenting from the Heart- Supporting Pregnant & Postpartum Teen Parents
  • Letting Go of a Traumatic Past - Individuals, Teams, & Communities 


                                 Additional programs designed to 

                               be  responsive to community need.

What does this work actually produce? Measurable, lasting change in three core areas:


Increased Empathy & Compassion


Trained community members and program participants learn to separate people from their behaviors, and to love the person without taking the behavior personally. 


The result: less judgment, more understanding, stronger relationships at every level.


Greater Personal Stability


When individuals access the tools to heal, they show up differently in their homes, their jobs, their families. Stability becomes contagious. Households strengthen. Neighborhoods steady. 


The result: stability in employment, housing, healthier bodies, and leadership.


Relationships that Inspire Health and Wellbeing 


Participants don't just transform their own lives, they become a source of light for others. This is how communities change: one healed relationship at a time, multiplied across blocks, schools, and partner organizations. 


The result: neighbors looking out for each other before disasters, groups planning to celebrate together, communities streets are cleaner.
