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.
Grounded in CBT, ACT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and positive psychology — not trends or guesswork.
The 6 P's give participants a consistent rhythm they can return to again and again, in any setting.
Supports facilitated learning in workshops, classrooms, and organization-wide programs.
An evidence-informed tool the people you serve can use between meetings. Reinforce their progress without overwhelming them.

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.

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.
