Optional STAR-Lite Training Continuing Education Credits (CEs/CLEs)

If you are taking this training for continuing education (CEs or CLEs), please note you must also register for the training on the training webpage. We ask that you pay the $35 tuition and pay the required CE/CLE fee – these are separate costs as not all trainees have professional licenses that require CEs.

If you are an attorney, please contact us via info@mnpeace.org so that we can notify the CLE board accordingly. Thank you!

When terrible things happen our peace has been stolen from us.
Let's build peace back into our lives and communities.

STAR-Lite is a single-day research and practice-supported peacebuilding training integrating neuropsychology, trauma healing and resilience, restorative justice, nonviolent conflict transformation, and broadly defined spirituality. The goal of the training is to become trauma-informed, resilience-oriented, and restorative justice-focused in our lives and communities. STAR-Lite is for individuals who wish to learn the basic STAR concepts and models within a shorter-time frame than the full STAR Training. While STAR-Lite is not a pre-requisite or replacement for the full STAR Training, it may serve as a refresher course for graduates of the full STAR Training. STAR-Lite is designed for those wanting to understand psychological trauma toward building peace within their spheres of influence.

Rather than being from a traditional DSM-V medical model based understanding of psychological trauma, STAR and STAR-Lite are designed for those seeking to address psychological trauma from a broader bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective toward seeking truth, mercy, justice, and peace.

The STAR-Lite Training objectives:

a. Learn various types of trauma and common responses to psychological trauma.
b. Learn the links between unhealed trauma and cycles of victimhood and violence.
c. Learn the basic STAR trauma healing and resilience models and associated practices.
d. Explore ways to apply trauma healing, resilience, and restorative justice practices toward building peace within your sphere of influence.

In Minnesota:

• 100% STAR graduates increased their confidence to appropriately aid and assist when their clients, family, friends, and community members face stressful and traumatic circumstances.
