The Problem

Trauma is the
silent infrastructure
of nearly every system we run.

Research is unambiguous: adverse childhood experiences shape adult outcomes across health, education, employment, and relationships. The institutions serving people most affected by trauma rarely have the trauma-informed tools to meet them.

64%
of U.S. adults report at least one adverse childhood experience.
— CDC, ACE Surveillance Data
17%
report 4 or more ACEs — the threshold for significantly elevated health risk.
— Felitti et al., Original ACE Study
$748B
estimated annual cost of childhood adversity to North American economies.
— WHO European Region Report

The Gap

The tools that work
are not the tools that scale.

Effective trauma intervention typically requires licensed clinicians, long timelines, and significant cost. Most institutions can't replicate that — but they still need to serve people carrying significant adversity.

The result is a deep institutional gap: schools, youth programs, and workplaces lack accessible, evidence-grounded frameworks for helping the people they serve understand and address what they carry. Existing wellness apps are too generic. Clinical pathways are too narrow and expensive. Nothing bridges the middle.

That middle is where C.U.R.E. operates.

The Solution

The Wholeness Path:
Assessment to Practice,
at Institutional Scale.

An integrated digital platform combining trauma assessment, personalized healing regimen, and daily companion — accessible from any device, deployable across an institution, grounded in three established research frameworks.

🧭

Evolved Assessment

A modernized expansion of the ACE study — 9 domains, 45+ items, including community, transgenerational, relational, somatic, and resilience factors the original study missed.
🎯

Personalized Results

Composite scoring, domain-level breakdown, and a primary focus area — calibrated to the individual without labeling, diagnosing, or limiting.
🌿

Healing Regimen

Four pillars (Body, Mind, Self, Connection), a phased timeline, and a daily rhythm — all weighted to the user's specific assessment results.
📓

Daily Companion

Body, mind, and connection check-ins, mood tracking, and rotating reflection prompts — designed to make the regimen livable, not just inspirational.

How It Works

From Onboarding to Sustained Practice.

A predictable, four-stage rollout designed to fit institutional realities — staff training, user enrollment, ongoing support, and impact measurement.

1

Discovery & Setup

We meet with leadership, identify use cases (staff wellness, student support, program integration), and configure the platform for your context. Typical timeline: 2 weeks.

2

Facilitator Training

Designated facilitators (counselors, social workers, HR leaders) complete a 4-hour training in trauma-informed framing, crisis pathways, and platform deployment.

3

User Rollout

Users begin with the assessment in supervised or self-paced format. Ongoing access to the regimen and Daily Companion follows. Crisis flags route to designated facilitators.

4

Reporting & Iteration

Quarterly aggregate reports (no individual data) show engagement, domain trends, and outcome indicators. Used for grant reporting, program refinement, and stakeholder updates.

Measurable Outcomes

What partner organizations
can expect to see.

Outcome targets based on the established trauma-informed care research literature and the specific design of The Wholeness Path. Actual results vary by population and implementation.

↑ 40%
Self-Reported Awareness
Increase in user-reported understanding of personal patterns after completing assessment.
↑ 65%
Help-Seeking Intent
Users reporting they are more likely to seek additional support after platform engagement.
↓ 30%
Disciplinary Incidents
Average reduction in school disciplinary referrals when paired with restorative practices training.
↑ 3.2x
Engagement vs. Generic Apps
Sustained engagement compared with general mental wellness apps in pilot data.

Targets reflect realistic ranges based on trauma-informed program research. Specific outcome guarantees and methodology are detailed in the Implementation Agreement provided to confirmed partners.

Pilot Timeline

A 90-day pilot
de-risks the decision.

For new institutional partners, we offer structured 90-day pilots — limited scope, full support, clear outcome metrics. If it works, we scale. If it doesn't, you walk away.

Weeks 1–2

Discovery & Configuration

Stakeholder alignment, use-case definition, platform setup, and crisis-pathway integration.

Weeks 3–4

Facilitator Training

Designated staff complete trauma-informed training and platform certification.

Weeks 5–10

User Rollout

Active deployment with cohort of 30–100 users. Weekly check-ins with C.U.R.E. team.

Weeks 11–13

Evaluation & Decision

Outcome report, qualitative feedback synthesis, and decision on full deployment.

Why C.U.R.E.

Built from the inside
of the wound.

C.U.R.E. was not founded by researchers observing trauma from the outside. It was founded by a targeted parent who spent three years in Wayne County's family court system fighting to return to his two children — winning sole custody in 2016 and establishing C.U.R.E. in March 2017, the same year the court permanently terminated the other parent's rights. The organization was built to provide what the court system could not.

The Differentiated Mission

The original ACE study — the backbone of modern trauma research — does not name parental alienation. C.U.R.E. is among the first platforms to explicitly address it as a distinct form of childhood adversity, with dedicated assessment questions and healing resources built specifically for this wound. The founder's lived experience is not a backstory. It is the product specification.

Established March 2017 in Dearborn, Michigan. Articles of Organization explicitly state: "social responsibilities, student social responsibilities, restorative practices, and youth advocacy." Every paying user subsidizes free access for someone who cannot pay.
