For us, trauma-informed is more than a buzzword.
We exist to make the world a more compassionate place by helping people who help people.
Whether you work in a business, school, or nonprofit, you are changing the world! We want to come alongside you and empower you to care better for yourself and those around you by equipping you with the tools and resources you need to live a life full of compassion and success.

MEET OUR FEARLESS LEADER
Dr. Jessica Doering is a compassion cultivator and trauma care expert who is living on a mission to make the world a more compassionate place!
Dr. Doering received her PhD from the University of Kentucky in STEM Education with a dissertation on trauma-informed education and the preschool-to-prison pipeline. She loves helping people who help people, buying books (and reading them sometimes!), and watching disc golf with her husband.
WHAT MAKES TDI UNIQUE?
This isn't your grandma's professional development! The Doering Institute brings learning into this fun era where stiff, boring slides and 80's haircuts are out (no disrespect to our friends who still sport the mullet!).
DELIGHTFUL
Why should you be bored and unengaged when learning?! We believe you shouldn't be, so we bring the value, the joy, and the enjoyment of learning to you!
PRACTICAL
We HATE professional development and training that is all fluff and adds no value! That's why we create all training with practical application in mind, even when laying theoretical foundations!
MODERN
This is not your grandma's training! We bring value in a way that appeals to modern sensibilities: professional content without the boring slides and droning narrators.
Working with us will change your life...
You are already a go-getter. A person who seeks out opportunity and success. A winner. Whether that is in the classroom, in a boardroom, or in a sanctuary, you are here because you want to help other people succeed, too. We want to change your life so that you can go out there and change the world into a more compassionate place!
SAVE TIME
Compassionate practices take time and energy to develop, so we developed them for you. We have broken down thousands of hours of training and research into easy-to-digest and ready-to-implement practices.
USE BEST PRACTICES
While trauma-informed care is still being researched today, there are best practices we will teach you that will lead to a lens of compassion and a culture of care for those around you.
EXPERIENCE FREEDOM
At The Doering Institute, we believe compassionate care starts with compassion for yourself! Whether you have experienced trauma, have compassion fatigue from helping others, or just need permission to not always be okay, we will help you move forward with confidence!
SKIP THE LEARNING CURVE
Understanding leads to compassion which helps us care for those around us better...but it can be difficult. We help you miss out on the mistakes we have made, so we help you implement the right way right away!
