Bring the EMBRACE Model to Your Practice, Program, or Organization

Facilitators, educators, shelters, universities, HR teams, and recovery programs use the EMBRACE Model to give the people and communities they serve a structured, evidence-informed path forward. Facilitator training opens the door to organizational and bulk workbook copies.

The EMBRACE Model gives people you serve, students, or team members a consistent, repeatable language for processing life's hardest moments — grief, anxiety, burnout, transitions, and everything in between. It's simple enough to hand someone on their first day, and evidence-based enough to support real transformation.

Facilitator Training Comes First

The EMBRACE Model is designed to be facilitated with care. Before we open organizational or bulk copies, we ask facilitators to complete training — this protects participants and prepares your program to succeed.

Why Training Comes First

Leading someone through grief, trauma, or a major life transition takes more than a workbook in hand. Our Facilitator's Guide covers session pacing, psychological safety, when to pause or refer out, and how to hold space for each of the seven EMBRACE modules — module by module.

Jan has already introduced the EMBRACE Model to a broader professional audience by contributing content to an accredited Grief Life Coach Certification course hosted by Transformation Academy.

The dedicated Facilitator's Guide is currently in final development. Join the Journey to Become a Facilitator below and you'll be the first to know when training opens — plus early access to organizational and bulk-copy pricing once you're trained.

Jan Davidson, creator of the EMBRACE Model

A Framework Built on Real Experience

Before creating the EMBRACE Model, Jan Davidson spent years working at the Indiana Department of Correction and retired as the Facility Director of Addiction Recovery Services at Indiana Women's Prison. Her background spans addiction recovery services, grief work, and behavioral health programming in high-acuity settings.

After losing her mother to dementia, Jan needed a structured processing tool for her own grief — despite years of professional experience in the grief and healing space. The EMBRACE Model emerged from that need, informed by CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and positive psychology.

It has since been used in corporate workshops, university programs, professional learning settings, and an accredited certification course.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy bulk copies for my organization?

Not yet — and that's intentional. The EMBRACE Model touches grief, trauma, and major life transitions, and we want every facilitated experience to be safe and well-held. Organizational and bulk copies open up after completing facilitator training. Join the Journey to Become a Facilitator above to be notified when training becomes available.

Is the Facilitator's Guide finished?

The Facilitator's Guide is currently in final development — it covers session pacing, psychological safety, when to pause or refer out, and guidance for each of the seven EMBRACE modules. Join the Journey to Become a Facilitator to be first in line when it's ready.

Can Jan train our staff or facilitators?

Yes. Once the Facilitator's Guide and training program are ready, Jan will offer professional training for facilitators, educators, and helping professionals covering the EMBRACE Model, facilitation skills, and the evidence-based foundation behind every module. This can be delivered virtually or in person.

What organizations use the EMBRACE Model?

Professional practices, shelters and recovery programs, universities and student wellness centers, HR and corporate wellness teams, faith communities, and nonprofit and community organizations.
