Nationally recognized and sought-after speakers, trainers, consultants, and game-changers in the field of trauma-informed and resilience practice, "Team Bowman" are known for delivery of hope-filled professional development—grounded in actionable strategies to reach students/clients/children for whom solutions are often hardest to find. They've trained, coached, and volunteered in locations such as Cuba, Russia, Jamaica, and Guatemala, broadening their perspective on resilience and healing.
Their training isn't just theoretical – its deeply personal, and intended to be practical, rooted in neuroscience, and designed for immediate impact.
What fuels Rick & Doris’s work is a relentless passion for equipping educators and other service providers with trauma-informed, neuroscience-aligned practices that don’t just “chase compliance” by temporarily managing behavior, but instead, truly transform lives—both students’ and educators’. In a field and a time where burnout is high and hope can feel scarce, Team Bowman’s sessions leave attendees feeling empowered and equipped to make a profound difference.

Input of participants following a “TEAM BOWMAN TROUBLESHOOTING SESSION":
I really valued the feedback on my case study! I've taken suggestions back to my team, and ALL of the recommendations will be implemented starting next week!
The resources and materials provided by Rick & Doris are invaluable! I’m beginning to us “Decoding My Survivial Signals” with a few students TODAY!
Doris’s statement “You can’t reward or consequence a nervous system into changing for the good!” made sense of why our contingency systems aren’t working!
