About The Truitt Institute

The Truitt Institute is proud to provide trainings, seminars, and courses taught by experts in the fields of Mental Health, Trauma Treatment, Neuroscience, Psychophysiology, Stress-Related Disorders, Holistic Health, Resilience, and Wellness. Our educational offerings focus on three distinct tracks:

  • Our professional training courses are meticulously designed to offer healing professionals a comprehensive understanding of both the neuroscience of trauma and resilience and the groundbreaking NeuroTriad model. This model integrates three core elements crucial for innovative healthcare: neuroscience-based, trauma-informed, and resilience-focused care. Our tailored courses ensure that you are equipped to provide safe and effective treatment for your clients, seamlessly incorporating these pillars into your existing practice.

Our Values

At the Truitt Institute, we know that mental health is not just an individual consideration, but one that is deeply intertwined with our larger social and cultural context.

Grounded in neuroscience and the principles of adaptive leadership, our approach focuses on fostering innovation through diverse perspectives, empowering individuals to reach their full potential, and ensuring that all members of our community experience a sense of belonging.

Our commitment to fostering a thriving, psychologically safe learning and work environment is driven by the science of neuroplasticity, human development, and performance optimization. By embracing a neurobiologically-informed culture of respect, inclusion, and personal agency, we empower individuals to contribute meaningfully to our shared mission.

At the Truitt Institute, we focus on what science tells us works:

  • Psychological safety as a catalyst for innovation and resilience
  • Cognitive diversity as an essential factor in problem-solving and leadership effectiveness
  • Empowerment-based learning models that optimize individual and collective potential
  • Research-backed strategies to support high-performing teams and sustainable human growth

We welcome individuals from all backgrounds who are committed to personal and professional excellence. We remain steadfast in our mission to cultivate an inclusive, science-driven, and forward-focused learning environment. Learn more about our Mission here.

At the Truitt Institute, we believe in the power of the brain to heal itself. As a team of mental health professionals, we have witnessed the extraordinary power of psychotherapy and coaching to help people change their lives, families, and relationships. However, we know financial constraints, clinician availability, and stigma around mental health are barriers to healing for so many.

Our mission is to radically rethink mental health and mental health treatment, using neuroscience to equip everyone with tangible, practical tools to take their mental health and wellness into their own hands. Each of our trainings is neuroscience-based, trauma-informed, and resilience-focused (for more information about why these pillars are the foundation of our work, please read about the NeuroTriad Model here).

We believe that the world is a better place when everyone has access to mental health education, resources, and support. We are dedicated to empowering people with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their mental health while creating opportunities for all humans to have access to mental health support and healing tools.

  • We believe that mental health is a human right, and we are committed to making sure everyone has access to the resources they need to maintain their mental health.
  • We believe that trauma-informed practices should be at the core of everything we do, because we know that trauma can affect anyone at any time.
  • We that the brain thrives in environments of psychological safety, trust, and collaboration. As a research-driven institution dedicated to the science of resilience and human potential, we prioritize creating spaces where individuals can learn, heal, and contribute their best selves.
  • We believe that personal empowerment is key to success in life, so we’ll do everything we can to help you grow as a person and achieve your goals.

Our goal? To eliminate stigma and to build personal and collective empowerment through education about the brain and the application of easy-to-use tools that get at the core of the amazing, quirky, and altogether beautiful group of 86 billion neurons (give or take a few) that guides us through the world. We are glad you are here and welcome you to join us on this journey.

Our goal is to make mental health treatment accessible, affordable, and stigma-free, so that everyone can benefit from the power of the brain to heal itself. We believe that by providing people with the tools to take their mental health into their own hands, we can empower them to lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. We do this by focusing on three primary tracks:

  1. Our professional training courses equip healing professionals with a deep understanding of the neuroscience of trauma and resilience, and how to provide safe and effective treatment for those suffering from PTSD, Developmental Trauma, Panic Disorder, Phobias, Anxiety Disorders, suicidal considerations, and other disorders. Hands-on, practical, and immediately useable, these courses are created by healing professionals, for healing professionals to empower you in your incredible work of helping others in their journey.
  2. Our Healing in Our Hands courses are specially created for the amazing people in the world who are not mental health practitioners but who impact the lives of others every single day: our teachers, medical professionals, faith leaders, coaches and more. These courses offer a unique combination of the latest scientific research and psychologically validated paradigms that will empower you to help others in a safe and effective way. Through live workshops, engaging videos, practical exercises, and in-depth lectures, these educational resources provide knowledge and tools to help you confidently and compassionately support those in need of healing. With our courses, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to be a source of hope and healing for those you care about.
  3. Our Healing in Your Hands courses provide the perfect opportunity to learn how to manage the stress of everyday life. We offer a range of courses from those designed for those who are just beginning their healing journey to those that have been walking the path for some time. Whatever your level of experience, you can find a course that suits your needs. Our courses teach you how to use the power of your brain to create a more empowered, resilient and healthy life. With our courses, you will learn how to manage difficult emotions, create positive habits and cultivate a more meaningful life. We will also provide you with neuroscience-based tools to help you stay mentally well, develop greater self-awareness, and create a life of sustained joy and fulfillment.
