What are the Five Ives?

In this episode of Returning to Us, Lauren and Jessica introduce themselves and share what led to the creation of the Five Ives program.


Lauren and Jessica, education professionals and creators of the Five Ives program, explain their journey. Witnessing students' disruptive behaviors as trauma responses, they realized their lack of training. Years of supporting individuals revealed a broader issue: burnout among those in flawed systems. This prompted them to explore how to support frontline workers and foster trauma-informed organizations.

They introduce the Five Ives framework for well-being: Survive (self-awareness), Revive (self-care and regulation), Strive (intentional growth), Thrive (engaged and regulated work), and Hive (helping others and connecting). Five Ives aims to create sustainable, trauma-informed organizational transformation through these stages.
