I hear you! 

And I also know that therapy is expensive! It is why there needs to be other options for women to access the key tools to help strengthen their relationship. We know the rates of divorce continue to remain around 50%! In order to ensure that we are not tailspinning into distress, we need to get help.. and to start early.

Now let me ask you this. Imagine what it would be like where you are prioritizing you and your relationship?

What price would you put on a happy relationship? Being able to communicate effectively? And feeling close and connected as a First Responder Family?

I get it. This time in your life is busy. 

There will never be a best time to make changes in yourself or your relationship. 

The best time to start? 

Is now. 

Here is what you need to know. You don’t have to clear your schedule to make changes. You can change what happens within yourself and your relationship in small bite size pieces. It is in the small, daily changes that add up over time. 

So instead of trying to think of the big retreat, or the hours in therapy, think about the small moments you have every day.

It is a common experience that women show up in my office telling me that their partner didn’t want to come for couples therapy, or they feel like they are the only one changing. This is hard!

I have good news. We know that when one person changes in a relationship, their partner will also begin to change.

This means that you don’t have to wait until the other person is ready. Take charge of you and your wellness – and I know that you can change the dynamic in your relationship.

Now imagine a space where you were growing and changing. Now that’s exciting. 

This membership group is facilitated by me, Kimberly Williamson, First Responder Spouse for 19 years, mom of three, trauma therapist and social worker in clinical practice. I have over 24 years of direct experience with clients. As a First Responder Family we have been through PTSD, Secondary Stress and built resilience in our family. You are getting access to and tools from a highly trained professional using evidence-based tools to deliver outcomes to impact your First Responder Family. The information is tailored for the group, and will continue to grow with the demands of the academy. This means that you get to help shape the help that you need! 

My content is meant to be delivered in bite size pieces, available to you whenever or wherever you are. This means that it is mobile friendly! Take some of those quiet moments you have to invest in yourself and your family while learning in the Resilience Academy site instead of endless scrolling on Facebook, Insta or Twitter.

Yes! I often recommend additional resources to clients in therapy. The reason? We know that the real work comes in the reflection and day to day moments outside of therapy. Use The Resilience Academy to help you solidify what you are talking about in therapy. A bonus? Bring up some of these areas of insight and growth with your therapist!

Good news! No hard feelings. If this isn't for you, cancel at anytime. I

if you chose monthly payments you can cancel any month.

If you paid an annual payment you have 14 days to try out the membership to attend the live sessions, ask your questions, and complete the worksheets. When you show up and put the tools in action, you will begin to see how your relationship could be different – in your own experiences and in your partnership. If after the first thirty days you join you are unhappy, a full refund will be granted to you. 

You have access to the material as long as you are a member of the group. All materials are downloadable, so that means that you will be able to save the material for a lifetime.

Fear is completely normal when it comes to doing something different. This emotion is telling you that you are about to do something important. And my advice to you is to LEAN INTO FEAR.

Email your questions and I will be available in our exclusive membership community with LIVE question and answer sessions. If you can’t make the live sessions (because I know life is busy!), send me your questions in advance! You’ll be able to watch it at your own time.  

This depends largely on how much time you spend doing the exercises and putting them into place in your life and your relationship.

New or long-time partner, there is never a wrong time to learn how you can show up as your true self in your relationship, enhance your connection and manage the stressors of this lifestyle. In fact, I encourage all new couples to learn their patterns of resilience in the First Responder community and connecting at the early stages of their relationship – this can help set you up for a life time of connection, happiness and resilience.

This membership will address the specific challenges that women face as a First Responder Spouse. 

This program will help you learn skills to improve your relationships within your family, including your partnership as a couple. When you start to change, your partner will start to change too. And bonus? Your partner can absolutely do the exercises and watch the videos with you.

While this membership is specifically for women as that has been the expressed need from our community, we are open to creating programs for male partners, couples or extended family in the future based on interest.
