Reviews and Endorsements

"Elaine Miller-Karas’s second edition of Building Resilience to Trauma is a genuine act of empowerment. So many people have a lived experience of poor mental health through trauma, and she brings tools and hope to the many trying to manage and cope with these difficult and frightening sensations. Loud and clear we learn that we can do something about trauma if we follow the modeling she outlines clearly and concisely. I am proud to call Elaine a friend and her warmth and care shine through to empower us all!" - Chris Underhill, MBE (Order of the British Empire), Skoll Foundation social entrepreneur, senior fellow with Ashoka Worldwide.

"As we face a global pandemic, violent conflicts that threaten world peace, impending climate catastrophe, and the inevitable tragedies that follow from these events, it’s hard to imagine a more urgent time to learn and share Elaine Miller-Karas’s revolutionary approach to cultivating resilience in the face of trauma. Now updated with insights about bringing these down-to-earth techniques to the systems level and scaling them to larger populations, this second edition promises to strengthen our collective will to bounce back from trauma and to make these basic human skills more accessible and available to all who need them. Which is to say, each one of us." - Timothy Harrison, associate director for Cognitively Based Compassion Training, Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics, Emory University.

"We heartily recommend Building Resilience to Trauma. We have been friends and students of Elaine's for over a decade. We include elements from the community and trauma resiliency models in everything that we offer around the world. Elaine is a manifestation of courageous compassion and great generosity. She is a creative innovator in the wellness revolution. Her models are pragmatic useful tools that provide trauma recognition and healing into our natural resilience." - Larry Ward, author of America's Racial Karma, coauthor with Peggy Rowe Ward of Love's Garden, and codirector of The Lotus Institute.
